Generally for new packages I find it easier to see changes in both together as, 
more than once, I've dealt with an upstream developer who was trying to roll a 
correct upstream tarball for a proper release as well as get the packaging 
right in parallel. 

I don't think our current VCS situation is fast enough or easy enough to use 
to be a replacement for REVU.  While I use /debian VCS branches in Kubuntu (a 
lot), I don't find they work very well for new packages.  YMMV, of course.
