I didn't look at the packages in question, but as a matter of team
policy, the Debian Python Team uses git-buildpackage repositories, with
pristine-tar, and a repo's layout is as follows:

1. Pristine-tar branch (upstream tarball is imported here)
2. Upstream branch (upstream tarball is unpacked here)
3. Debian packaging branch (name varies)
   * https://dep-team.pages.debian.net/deps/dep14/ is the standardisation
   effort the DPT has adopted.
   * another key phrase is a "patches unapplied" packaging branch.

`gbp import-orig --pristine-tar --uscan` downloads the latest tarball
and puts it in #1, then unpacks it to #2, then creates an
upstream/new_version tag on this upstream branch, then merges that tag
to #3.  One then needs update the version of the current changelog entry
(if UNRELEASED), or create a new one with `dch
-v$new_upstream_version-1`.  Finally, one may need to use `gbp pq` to
import, rebase, and export an existing quilt patch series onto the new
upstream release.

Other teams/individuals have different policies and practises.


'hope that helps!

Nicholas
