Bug#953629: debian-policy: Please permit Debian revisions with 1.0 native packages
Russ Allbery dixit:

Right, but the packaging workflow is the same (and since there is only
one quilt patch, the view other developers have pretty much matches).
It even has a benefit: NMUs can be added as extra quilt patches, and
the maintainer can just commit them.

Ah right, there’s that. OK.
Hope the method I’ve suggested helps someone reading the archives anyway,
