"... thus increases the possibility that will happen" sounds idiomatic to
me. (Usually in this context possibility is used in the singular.)
However, even better here would be to avoid the pronoun entirely:
Taking them into account reduces the burden of integrating your
changes into the normal package workflow and thus increases the
possibility that integration will happen.
