I keep upstream and Debian together in one cvs for all my projects.
That way I only have one place to backup and the source and debian dir
correlate and share changelogs.

I prefer using an orig.tar.gz + diff.gz though, the diff being empty
for each initial major release and then growing during minor
releases. That way I don't have to upload some big orig.tar.gz to fix
a typo somewhere (not that debmirror is that big but other things).
