Depends how verbose you are in your changelogs and if the reader can
denote the package _version_ from your git logs.
For what its worth, it is to note, an upstream changelog is certainly no
requirement to get your package into Debian.

No. Thats absolutely right. However you should point to such a VCS only,
if you are actually using it.
This has not to be Alioth by the way[*], if you are using your own
repository for Debian packaging that's fine as well.
Please note, you should /NOT/ put the debian/ directory into your
release tarballs. Hence you should use another branch for your debian
packaging. Consequently your VCS-* links should point to the repository
where your Debian packaging is done.

You can override an appropriate dh call and replace it by something
completely custom, semantically equivalent. That's helpful if you can't
get dh_installdocs to do the right thing, and its only purpose is your
README file. For example, you could do:
override_dh_installdocs:
install README.markdown debian/{package}/usr/share/doc/{package}/README
If your README file applies to every package you build, repeat the
procedure for each package. Alternative ways exist, maybe even simpler
approaches.

I'm really happy you gave not up yet. I'd really like to see your
package in Debian.
