I would not encourage publishing directly out of the master branch of
the repository, since "master" is really an "unstable" branch. The
published tarballs are the canonical source, but I have no objections
to someone publishing from the repository release tags.
As I said way earlier in the thread, I'm happy to add things to the
repository (or release tarballs) that make things easier for people on
Debian to build their own packages, but I don't want to do anything
that makes more work for the official Debian package maintainers.
(For the record, I am not the original author -- merely the latest of
several co-maintainers).
