I brake until my revs are below 1000 (on my 1.6 petrol), then either change into first gear if i need to make a getaway soon and push down the clutch, or go to neutral and bring the clutch up to rest my leg if i'm not going anywhere for a while. I do play with my clutch just before stopping to get the smoothest stop, instead of a bit of a jolt, but that comes from experience with your car.
The way i look at it is all the time you havn't got the clutch down and your braking, your saving fuel, until you need to change gear because your about to stall.
