Yes, it's pretty easy to write your rules files such that it's easy to
move the dirs around later.
I would suggest you get the packages uploaded even based on your
suggested structure, and then we can change it later.

Something's wrong with the setup. I can't actually use apt to get
packages from there. I've tried with:
deb http://dulug.duke.edu/~mark/debian ./
and
deb http://dulug.duke.edu/~mark debian/
Neither work.

Eh? Full setup for what?

Why wouldn't it just provide 'xsl-processor'. Likewise, jade/openjade
should provide 'dsssl-processor'. Isn't this what you're asking for?

If we can agree on the semantics and the name, I can propose such a
scheme to debian-policy.

I'm confused and don't know anything about this.
If you want my help uploading, I'm most interested in getting the
Docbook extension packages in
