This is how people work together in Debian: they believe that they have
to refer to documents instead of giving some rationale. So yes,
changing all files with a single commit (or few ones) is much better,
but this is not a big deal.
Your patch is not very clear, at first reading I thought that you were
telling to combine spelling mistakes with content changes, which is of
course wrong.
