We maintain our own debian directory for convenience, because we like
the idea of a self-contained package. But obviously this only makes
sense if this debian directory is maintained.

I understand that. You already maintain a debian directory on your side,
you have absolutely no reason to maintain the debian directory of the
xenomai project.
Anyway, what I would like to know if people find useful the "feature" of
shipping with a debian directory.

Too bad. But maybe you could say that Debian uses Xenomai 2.6, and the
third version numbers are just security updates ;-) I am just half
kidding, after all, the policy is that all releases in the same branch
are binary compatibles.
