No, that is fine by me. As of 2014, I have stopped being a Debian
user (after being one for 17 years), so, I care less and less about
it, I have reached a point where everything about this distribution
seems over-designed, gets in the way on the desktop of someone who
mainly does software development, and paradoxically lead to bad
quality software. 

In any case, I am no longer running Debian on my desktop, and
restarting a server to test a Xenomai release is out of the
question, so it would not be easy for me to test Debian packaging.
Since we do not really have a Debian maintainer (and we never did
really have one judging by the work the person that claimed to be
one did), I would be in favor of dropping the ball and removing the
debian directory, unless someone steps up for assuming this role,
but I mean, with a real intention of commitment to the task.
