I was under the impression that the debian tree was for unstable, while 
debian-sarge was for debian stable. If it was for etch, my mistake, you 
can revert them. However I need to mention that when the debian package 
is built and uploaded, it'll be first uploaded into unstable. Nobody can 
push new packages into debian stable unless they are security fixes. So 
we still need a directory for debian unstable.

Probably it would make sense to replace debian-sarge with debian-etch 
since sarge was replaced by etch as the stable distribution.
