For packages maintained by a single "real" maintainer (i.e. not under
the upcoming umbrella) IMO is better to have debian directory in the
upstream CVS for the reason you mentioned.
For packages maintained cooperatively is better to have it on Alioth
just because I doubt we can manage to have accounts for all the involved
maintainers (even if the are 3 or 4 ...).
Cheers.
