I'm not sure I see how it makes any difference. Either way, I would start
with their package and add Debian packaging files for Debian. The only
difference is some minor variation in what commands I run at the very
start of that process (namely, git-import-dsc for a non-native package
vs. git-import-orig for a native package). I have a hard time seeing how
this choice would make more than thirty seconds of difference to my
workflow.
