I have neve had such issues when maintaining Debian packages.

I think that the code that builds a Debian package should be on Debian
infrastructure. And I think that we should use the pristine tarballs
released by upstream to have the possibility to compare the tarballs
by checksum.
Currently, it looks like a working team has formed to work on the
package. That means than I am out. One less cook to spoil the fun, and
one less old fart to insist on old fashioned package keeping.
If you settle on maintaining borgbackup on github, please make sure to
kill the repositories on alioth.
Greetings
Marc
