That's a bit unfair. One maintainer made a mistake. There is a vast amount of software in Debian and humans make mistakes, so yes this sort of thing happens from time to time. To call that a habit is not reasonable in my opinion; most Debian developers that I have seen comment on this matter have reinforced the concept of not applying local modifications unless absolutely necessary.
