Hrm. Some of the things that we envisage in the future will rely on
being able to find the maintainer view tag, as well as the dgit view

So I don't think we want to get rid of the debian/ tag even in this
case. But I guess we could supplement it.

That was a compatibility option, for a previous approach. The code
was dropped a while ago. I'll get rid of it from the manpage.
