Ah, good.

This was unintentional.  I tried to push my branch with only one commit
for the locale/ directory, and believed I was on the branch only
containing the upstream code.  Not quite sure how I managed to push the
wrong branch, but I see the problem too.  I am terribly sorry.

I'm not quite sure how to clean up the mess I created, but guess a 'git
reset' and a forced push is out of the question, and that a commit to
remove the debian directory is the only option?

Right.  I guess we will keep it to avoid complicating the build, then.
