I agree with Adrian that on the topic.  I would even have fixed
this in a team upload, but I'm a bit confused by the changelog
I've found in Git[1].  There is only one branch "debian" (I'd
love to have upstream and pristine-tar as well but I'm fine with
fixing this).  However, this branch contains a changelog
entry


mrtrix3 (3.0~rc3+git86-g4b523b413-2) neurodebian; urgency=medium

  * Need to disable PIE on older systems

which does not belong here (neurodebian is no release of Debian, right
;-) ).  I'd suggest the cleaner solution to move changes into a branch
neurodebian.  Moreover the releases in this branch should not simply
bump the revision number.  It should be rather like in backports or
derivatives rather something like

    3.0~rc3+git86-g4b523b413-1~neurodebian+1

or something like this.  I have no idea whether the current state in Git
is somehow released and it is to late to fix this nor whether you intend
to take over the change you did for Neurodebian also for the next Debian
release.

Please clearify (or upload yourself).

Kind regards

         Andreas.
