Debian Developers got sick of upstreams shipping debian/ directories,
hence for many years now dpkg-source when using v3 format nukes the
./debian/ directory out of the upstream tarballs on unpack.
However here lies the irony.... Debian upstream project tarballs ship
debian/ directories and use a v3-native subformat....
