This is all understandable, but with option #1 the changelog entry
"Ack NMU, thanks NMUer" seems to be nothing more than a simple
acknowledgment that the maintainer confirms the changes made by the
NMU.  Not doing it has the same effect if the new release is based on
the NMU anyway.  I mean, if the maintainer is basing the new release
on the NMU, there is an implicit assumption that the NMU has been
ACK'ed and this changelog entry is more or less redundant.
