This is the upstream source control. The article talks about the Debian packaging source not being in git (on e.g. salsa.debian.org).

Eh, I didn't bother to read TFA. So, it was ambiguous as to whether OP was talking about the projects or Debian's packages of the same. I figured it was more likely that OP was talking about the projects and proceeded accordingly.

If that quote's about keeping Debian packaging in source control, I don't really see much benefit for packages like coreutils and bash that generally Just Work(TM) because they're high-quality and well-tested. Sign what you package up so you can detect tampering, but I don't see you really needing anything else.
