I would say two points:
We need to support two paths:
1. unpack vanilla upstream
2. drop debian/ subdir inside
3. debuild should create packages and diff with debian/ only changes
4. debclean should put tree in buildable state
5. debuild should create packages and diff with debian/ only changes
Recreating original files is waste of time.
From practical point of view even 4) and 5) is waste of time :-).
In Debian Gnome team we have following svn structure:
/desktop/<release>/package/debian/<files>
/desktop/<release>/tarballs/
and we use mergeWithUpstream svn-builder flag on debian/ subdirectory.
That way each build starts with pristine upstream tarball and generates
diff.gz properly.
But I will be happy if we can support points 1.-5. (supporting only
1.-3. just makes life easier :-)
Ondrej.
