This argument has been taken ad infinitum on debian-devel. The idea
of a patch series in the Debian source package is simply to make it
easier for others to work on your packages. This sounds like
a worthwhile goal to me, especially if we want to untie some of the
knots in Debian and open up those bottlenecks (I am not saying you
are one of them).

Anyway, I am not saying that this is the way to go, only time will
tell which approach(es) are the successful ones. I'd love to see
some standardisation across distros at some point. If we want to
continue to scale, I think that's the way forward...
