I don't recognise the repository structure that was raised by myself and
some others: A VCS repository that contains only the Debian packaging
files, which at build time is then exported to a non-VCS working tree
and moerged with the upstream source.
It may be “bare debian” is meant to cover this; but I don't recognise
the comment “requires use of quilt and similar tools” because I've never
needed to use Quilt for this.

The page admonishes that we not edit ithe “value judgement” fields; but
the same page offers no clear alternative forum to achieve changes there.
