I've not proposed to "put all that in debian/whathaveyou". I've proposed to
put the interface offered/needed by required (end eventually other) components
of debian/ not in a file that might be, it self, one of those components.
As Branden already pointed out your might be a bad idea.
If you put a tag you'll patch the problem, show restricted prospecitves, and
add more burden to the same component, while we need a more complex structure,
flatten the resonsibilities of each component and eventually create new one.
Small, fast and agile components with one precise objective.
Moreover, people might need to automatically generate control file at build
time (i had to), and heveing to generate it with the clean target of
debian/rules is dirty trick and is not in the meaning of the target.
