Hi Paul,

Whilst I understand what you mean, I'm not completely convinced :) I mean,
almost everything under debian/ "manipulates the source" and, again,
the "source" subdirectory is — at least to me — de facto reserved for the
source format in a dpkg sense.

I'm thus marking this at wontfix; feel free to continue to use your
overrides [0].
