I have been struggling with this myself. My current approach

  - One separate branch for the debian packaging
  - In that branch, add the release branch as a git submodule
  - In the debian branch, check in and tag  the pristine tarball.

There are most likely better ways to do this; tyhis is just my current 
understanding. IMHO, the dreaded submodule actually works quite fine here.
