Modifying the build script so that it creates a source package with a
debian dir -only + quilt patch stack from the git repo is probably a
work of about half an hour or even less. Some of my unreleased
packages even use this technique. But storing such a thing in version
control makes no sense to me.

The repository is in alioth, and writable by any DD or member of the
collab-maint team, i.e. anyone who has some level of involvement with
Debian and bothers to ask for an account.

This is fine with me.

Best,
