Upstream CVS or Debian repository?

[jmarant@nerim.net (Jérôme Marant)]

Hi,

  After discussing about Alioth, I recalled I was given
  some CVS accesses by some upstream in order to manage
  packaging.

  My question is: is it better to manage the debian directory upstream
  or is it better to manage it elsewere by duplicating it in
  Alioth. The advantage of the former is that you can collaborate with
  upstream better. The advantage of the later is that it is easier to
  rebuild the whole package since HEAD contains only a stable version.

  Any comment?
