I suggest you document that a bit somewhere (for example in the url

A change from 1.0 with no upstream modifications to 1.0 with modifications
is about as big as the change to to 3.0 (quilt).
So I'm quite suprised as well that someone could read those rules in a
way to forbid using 3.0 to add the first patch to a package.
