OK, a few comments here..

First, having the debian/ directory in the freeciv CVS sources themselves
serve no extra purpose for Debian users.  Debian people can easily fetch the
Debian-specific patches from the Debian FTP archive.  Therefore, I would be
against having them there, if I were to have any say in it.

Secondly, the Debian maintainer of a given package is not always the person
that makes releases for Debian.  Having the debian/ directory in FreeCiv not
only inconveniences Debian in these situations, but also the FreeCiv people.
