A free-form field into which I can put things like:

    The original upstream source was repackaged to remove the WS-Trust.xsd
    schema, which was not distributed under a DFSG-free license.

is all I need.  I do think it makes sense to put more detailed information
for developers about how that process is maintained into README.source
instead.
