In fact, having upstream maintain the packages as well can mean patches are integrated quicker and the maintainer has a much better knowledge of the code base in case of problems. As a non-Debian Developer you would be working through a sponsor anyway, who is expected to do a full review before any upload, so I can't see any problem with 'checks and balances' as you put it. -- Jonathan Wiltshire 1024D: 0xDB800B52 / 4216 F01F DCA9 21AC F3D3 A903 CA6B EA3E DB80 0B52 4096R: 0xD3524C51 / 0A55 B7C5 1223 3942 86EC 74C3 5394 479D D352 4C51
