what if upstream provides debian build directory

Hi folks,
What is Debian's policy, if upstream provides its own debian directory
or package build procedure? Is upstream always right?
Does or should this source package become a "native" package? How do I
include patches?
What if upstream's package sets conflict with Debian's packages, and
I want to install upstream's packages? Is it the DM's responsibility
to avoid this conflict or to preserve compatibility? Famous example
for this would be the Linux kernel sources.
Of course I checked Debian's Policy Manual, but AFAICS this subject
has been successfully ignored by now. Any helpful comment would be
highly appreciated.
Regards
Harri
