Thank you for your suggestion.

I agree.

For time being, I think that packages for Gauche have
override_dh_auto_configure in debian/rules (to avoid automatic
settings of --libdir and --libexecdir which is something like
/usr/lib/<ARCH> instead of /usr/lib).

Besides, I am considering how Debian package should be maintained,
say, for forthcoming 0.9, given the situation that upstream use Git
and have the repositories.

Having the standard repository of git-buildpackage (with pristine-tar,
etc.) would be one way.  But, it would be overkill.

It seems for me that, if we use Git to maintain Debian package and
upstream, we don't need to stick "released source code distribution"
which includes generated configure scripts.  It would be OK that
Debian's "source code" for Gauche doesn't include generated configure
scripts, but those will be generated at build time.

I think:
It is no problem for Debian packaging, even if it doesn't maintain all
information by upstream (released source code tar ball and released
generated configure scripts), but just maintain the Git repository of
upstream.

How do you think?
