I guess that README.Debian would be the right place for such instructions? 
(For clarity this can then be referred to from changelog, like "refresh foo 
with bar, see README.Debian").

Actually the only thing when merging that I didn't handle via standard files 
was to put patches, that I had applied straight to the source package into 
debian/ubuntu-patches for reference together with a small README.patches.

Anyways, I very much second that we need to document better what was done to a 
package for reasons you mentioned already (which I learnt the hard way when 
having to redo my initial merges *g*).

Cheers,
    Stefan.
