I'm not talking about chaff, I'm talking about low reflectivity paint (to reduce spotting via visual observation) and stealth to prevent radar detection (ala F-117 or B2). Maybe you even mosey on up to a known piece of debris and attach to it.
Chaff's handy for making it look like the launcher had an issue, but you need something else for ongoing evasion.
