I find subversion easier to use, but that probably mostly because I
haven't really wrapped my head around git for Debian packaging yet.

There's git-buildpackage, but the general "issue" with git and Debian
packaging is that there is no one-true work-flow on how to do it.

With subversion, we just keep the debian/ directory in subversion and
tag packages on upload, see e.g.

http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debichem/tags/cp2k/

or

http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debichem/unstable/cp2k/debian/

for the trunk.
