Preferentially they should only detect changes to tags. I think that a refspec like this might do the trick, but I'll need to be able to do both positive and negative tests to confirm.

+refs/tags/debian/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

It's a little bit of a hack as you will end up with tags as branches in your local tree, but it just might work. And we clean up the git workspace so I hope it won't muck things up when repeatedly polling.

Also we should setup git triggering mechanisms: http://kohsuke.org/2011/12/01/polling-must-die-triggering-jenkins-builds-from-a-git-hook/
