Given that, in response to your upload, you will get an email
precisely mentioning the "NEW" status of your package, the most
natural place to provide such comments is by replying to that email.
IIRC, that email also explicitly invites you to reply for further info
(but I might be confusing it with REJECTs: if this is the case,
experience tells us that patches to dak that improve those mail
templates are usually welcome).
I don't see any need to pollute a source package with another
README.something that will become garbage just after NEW processing is
over.
Cheers.
