I do it that way:
I use a dedicated git branch for the debian stuff, containing the
the debian stuff (and the source, but source is not edited in this
branch)
The developement (on the source) is done in a different branch and
whenever I want to make a debian package I just merge the latest source
into the "debian branch".
This way your tricks with git-tags could still work. (Anyway, can you
elaborate on this, as I am curious about this idea)

I was told that the VCS cotnrol fields are not meant for "upstream" but
only to point to servers on the debian infrasturcture to contain the
packaging stuff.
