I said that it makes little sense to keep distribution specific data inside main source repository. Most of the time these need to be fine tuned for a certain distribution even if they use same packaging tools. What is acceptable in one, may be considered a bug in another, etc. That is why most packagers simply dump the files and start from scratch. Your best bet would be to remove "debian" directory and include a file named "README.Debian" stating where these files can be found. The same applies to other distributions as well. No, I am not suggesting to remove all the packaging files form the SVN. It is perfectly acceptable to keep them in a _separate_ section of the same repository if (a) you are aware that the distribution in question in not interested in making the packages, or (b) somebody from the project is also a packager for a certain distribution. I am not sure this applies to Windows or MacOS, as they do not provide a convenient way (think apt, emerge) of distributing software. On the other hand, users of such environments are likely to prefer pre-compiled binary files.
