No problem, ideally the .diff.gz should touch only the debian/
directory, and leave the upstream code clean. If you need to patch the
code, better to put patches in debian/patches. I'm sure you know all
this, but just for clearness.
If the existing package is to messy, you can also avoid to inject it
and start directly from the new one.
