That also should be catched and warned, since an NMU done by a maintaner makes
no sense.

Well, it makes no difference which case you have. Anyways if you have a
conflicting declarations for debian-revision value and /Non-maintainer
upload/i as first changelog entry, lintian&linda should warn about. In fact I
can see such an attempt in /usr/share/lintian/checks/nmu but it doesn't work
as expected or at least for me. I'll try to investigate that further.
