Frankly, I don't see the point in hiding the directory. The only person who'd ever look into that directory would be someone inspecting what happened during a build process, and all that hiding directories achieves is adding more mental load to them where they have to remember to use ls -a, and type a dot before trying to tab-complete anything. Basically, it would just be annoying with no good reason. I could see some potential in a debian/build/ directory, and moving everything that is generated under it, but that would first have to be implemented in debhelper, then we could start moving non-debhelper packages over, and only then it could be turned into policy.
