No. Similarly, you could provide a manpage or sources[1] via debian/. IMO, it is not a good practice to generate new files in upstream place via patches.

I packaged a program under the GPL-3+ license where Upstream wrote all the texts in its native language Pt-Br, and for the packaging, I did all the translation to English, creating a directory 'debian/locale/en' with your required files for the translation as the 'manual', 'README', example and strings of the --help command. I would like to know if my package is valid, since I didn't find any kind of content in Debian Policy. I guess any changes to upstream must be implements along with patch and anything under debian/ must be related to debian package only. So shouldn't debian/locale/ be related locate of debian package itself? Below is a link to the packaging in my salsa for further clarification. https://salsa.debian.org/braulio/md2term Sincerely, -- Braulio H. M.
