I guess it depends on Joe. My experience with debian packages is based
on only using Debian and sometimes installing few deb packages manually
(with apt-get or dselect).
However, I have noticed that few debianized packages either in their 
tar-ball or in their CVS contain debian/ directory containing necessary
files for creating deb-files. I was hoping that we could maintain this
directory inside scipy CVS repository so that debian packaging burden will
be more distributed among developers. The same applies also for chaco and
f2py.
