What exactly would be the benefit compared to the releases?

This would IMO just create problems. Import a patch if necessary and
be done but don't mirror the whole repository.

Why should upstream provide a debian directory anyway? It is not in the
released tarballs...


Just to get a better understanding, what exactly is the problem we want to solve?
