I don't think we ever defined a clear borderline for that.  But good
hint would be, that the script you are packaging should be larger than
the contents of your debian subfolder ;)

Uhm, often these tiny scripts have no tarball and no version number
themselves.  So you need to think up something anyway.  That also makes
it difficult to create a proper watchfile.

But if you have the luck that you could create a watchfile... Don't
know.  How do watchfiles for multiple upstream tarballs source packages
work?
