You have to keep in mind that you will not be the only one to work on your package. You cannot assume that you'll maintain them forever, and even if it would be the case, there may have NMUs, or security updates that will need that another maintainer work on your package. According to this, everything that makes your package easier to understand and handle for an external maintainer is a good thing, and using patches that explain what they do, one for each different purpose *is* a good packaging practice.
