It would have the huge benefit that upstream .git* files would stay in the upstream folder, and wouldn't conflict. I had for example issues with conflicting .gitreview files when using Gerrit for the Debian packaging. I don't see however any advantage of moving the patches folder outside of the debian folder. > because > this transformation could be trivially automated in either direction.
