This is a very good summary of your proposal. We perhaps should
therefore ask all sponsors of merges to insist references to bugreports
that document why that change is kept during the merge.

The bugreport should go to ubuntu, if it is an ubuntu-only change and to
debian, if the developer (sponsor or contributing developer) think the
change might be acceptable for debian.
