I find it quite surprising that you don't know about the 0-day NMU policy for 7+ old RG bugs.

Debhelper still has to be present was “clean” is called, no matter whether it's autobuilt.

Why did you > change this? Just FTR, that's deprecated, see debhelper(7). Again, nothing is broken and your package is in a better shape. Depending on NMU'd maintainers, additional help is usually welcome, which is why I tend to fix glitches as well. If maintainers can't stand with people helping them clean their packages, maybe they should do that themselves? Noticing the problems isn't that hard, e.g. by checking the lintian reports, per maintainer.
