I personally consider such note required, but recent discussions about DEP5 indicated that not all agree with that.
Whoops, I misread your question: You did not talk about debian/copyright but about debian/README.source.
Yes, see e.g. the README.source in the csound package.
wouldn't it be nice to have a short notice about how the sources got imported (if that was done in any non-standard way)?and again: wouldn't README.source be the right place?
