Are you talking about bug #653112 (disabling the "non-intrusive ads"
"feature" by default) or are you talking about patching the complete
"non-intrusive ads" out? Feel free to join the Debian Mozilla Extension
Maintainers team and apply the patch in case of the former. The patch
would be too huge in case of the latter. I scanned a diff between
adblock-plus and adblockedge. Part of the diff was ripping
"non-intrusive ads" out and the other part was for renaming the
extension. I came to the conclusion that it is simpler to maintain the
adblockegde fork.
