Tools like wrap-and-sort are certainly a no-go for NMUs!
Yes, it is harder for me to read packages not maintained in _my_ style,
but really I have *no* say on styling when only a quest making changes

If a package is too hard for me to help edit, then that is a reason so
not NMU that package, not a reason to re-style the package!
