I guess I could have copied the module into my project module folder and

I think I would personally prefer that over changing the package for the whole distro.

The project is under your direct control and the modified module will be available with the project on all distributions (or platforms/operating systems) that users might try to build your project e.g. not just the distribution you happen to work on.

By modifying the module on the distro level this changes behavior also for projects that did not ask for that change (which might work out in some cases but might just as well break in others).
