I am confused…
In the upstream Subversion repository, there is a debian directory whose
maintainer is a Code::Blocks developer.
http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/codeblocks/trunk/debian/control
In the ITP bug, it is mentionned that the package prepared for Debian
is already in Ubuntu. The Debian directory is not the same and the VCS
containing the source package is not mentionned.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=304570#101
On your side, you would like to contribute as co-maintainer to the Debian
package, which has not been accepted yet.
It has been proposed that you ignore upstream's debian directory using the 3.0
(quilt) format, but if your intention is to be a co-maintainer, then the
decision of which format to use is not entirely in you hands.
If your goal is to stay close to the debianization work of the upstream
maintainers, you can pull the upstream Subversion repository with git-svn.
Using git you can produce patches that can be sent upstream. This does not
require them to switch to git.
This said, I recommend that you do not ignore the package that is already in Ubuntu…
