You say "us" so I assume you are more then one person. Why not make
one of them (or all as a group) Debian maintainer of the package? Make
the package a debian native package, which obviously includes a debian
dir.

You do not have to be a Debian Developer to be a maintainer. As non DD
you only need a DD to sponsor your uploads.
