It is the Debian developer's choice.
The developer can choose to alter the package, or not, as he sees
fit. You are proposing a serious restriction on developers, and I for
one would be *most* upset.
Upstream sources do *not* have a right to demand or even expect that
Debian will do whatever they want, either technically or politically.
At present, those decisions are nearly always the responsibility of
the relevant Debian developer, and this is as it should be.
