Hi all,
I would prefer a stronger wording, for example:
While preparing the patch, pease take them into account the
package-specific practices documented by the maintainer in <ulink
url="&url-debian-policy;ch-source.html#s-readmesource"><literal>debian/README.source</literal></ulink>.
If your NMU is not an urgent matter, it is your responsability to
reduce the burden of getting your changes integrated back in the
normal package workflow.
Have a nice day,
