 This would have my vote. I moved my packages to the debian namespace to 
 ease git access for others, also for the case that a package might have 
 to be passed to another maintainer. At the time the debian namespace was 
 introduced, I've read nothing about implied upload rights. If I had, I 
 wouldn't have put my packages there. It was only later that some people 
 wrote about supposed upload rights, but I never saw a source cited for 
 the claim.
