I see no motivation on the upstream site to follow different Debian
revisions, closing bugs in the debian/changelog etc. Thus a single
place of maintenance is best maintained in a repository controled by
Debian (and I keep on asking upstream to follow this advise even if
source format 3.0 can deal with it).
Kind regards
Andreas.
