That would be a useful compromise. How about the second half, which is to not patch anything during the unpacking of the package? Maybe this could be combined in a single ‘no-patch’ option, or an alias like ’3.0 (simple)’?

Does that mean that the use of options discussed above may become forbidden in our archive in the future? If yes, there is little point making concessions now… The best way to avoid the burden of supporting multiple patch formats in dpkg-dev is to leave this task to the maintainers.
