I was just following what Rafael did.

The reason for having a separate branch (I think) is because there
were patches applied to other parts of the tree.  So technically,
the DEBIAN branch is a fork of the 5.1.0 release, not HEAD.  It
is occasionally difficult to make Debian packaging scripts work
with both HEAD and a release, but it is usually worth the effort.

I'm still under the assumption that Rafael is going to return to
the Debian packages =), but I'll continue to work slowly on them
until that time.
