The issue is that I'm not sure I like the patch.  I'm not sure I'm
comfortable depending on a new debhelper compatibility level for
barnowl.  It tends to get backported for a number of environments.
You can NMU if you like, although I don't promise not to revert your
patch.
my recommendation is that you NMU what you proposed as I don't have a
lot of time and krb5 (which I maintain) is needing attention and far
more important than barnowl.

If I revert I'll fix things another way (presumably adding an explicit
call to dpkg-buildflags to an override in the debian/rules)
