What I found relevant here is
If running dpkg-source -x on a source package doesn’t produce the 
source of the package, ready for editing, and allow one to make changes 
and run dpkg-buildpackage to produce a modified package without taking 
any additional steps, creating a debian/README.source documentation 
file is recommended.

https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#source-package-handling-debian-readme-source

I don't think even this requirement is not applicable here, as apt 
source does the required things and uscan does the right thing when 
updating to new upstream release.
