I have uploaded the package with those two changes to [0] (see also attached
debdiff). I am now building nqp and rakudo but there shouldn't be much problems.

The changelog now looks like this:

 [ Allison Randal ]
 * New upstream release
 * debian/patches:
   - Removed 01_fix_spelling_errors.patch, change included upstream.
 * debian/parrot.docs:
   - Removed NEWS, no longer exists upstream.
 * debian/parrot-devel.install:
   - Removed binary parrot_debugger, no longer installed upstream.
 * debian/rules
   - Removed manpage generation and installation for parrot_debugger,
     no longer installed upstream.
   - Added files to the clean list, revealed in new git packaging
     workflow: build-arch-stamp, build-indep-stamp, pbc_to_exe.1,
     parrot-nqp.1, ops2c.1.
   - Added configure flag to explicitly exclude libffi from build
     dependencies (Closes: #636944)
 * debian/control.in:
   - Bumped Standards-Version to 3.9.3.
 * debian/copyright:
   - Updated copyright format to 1.0
   - Updated copyright years to 2012
 * Dropped debian/libparrot*.symbols file (library exports private
   symbols, API/ABI not stable)

 [ Alessandro Ghedini ]
 * Enable ICU support
   - Build depend on libicu-dev
 * parrot-minimal Breaks rakudo (<< 0.1~2012.01)

Cheers
