I just had a look at the dgit history of pcre2, and it looks like you're
using a pure git merge-based workflow.

I'd like to encourage you to explicitly follow the workflow described in
dgit-maint-merge(7), which is essentially a cleaned-up version of what
you're already doing.

In particular, that manpage provides sample text for
debian/source/patch-header which would have given Jeremy a way in, and
perhaps avoided the filing of this bug.
