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.

Cheers,
Andy
