I'm convinced we will need at some point to document VCS packaging layouts in a way that allow tools to use that information programmatically. But right now that information will not be actionable, whereas the subdirectory already is (for debcheckout and friends). By also considering the fact that the "-d DIR" solution does not prevent to add a "-l" in the future, I think minimality wins here (hence my "Yay" to your proposal in separate mail). YMMV.
