Should this be the opposite of the first item or should this describe how
to remove user modifications, i.e. bring the tree in the state after
doing debian/rules patched?
The rest looks good and I agree that such a source is useful, but it
should also be allowed to refer to a central document like
/u/s/d/dpatch/README.source. I expect that many README.source look the
same.
