It’s on purpose, to avoid confusion. I changed the HEAD.

I don’t consider it really a NMU, it’s just a modified package one level
down in the stream of software, more compareable to how Ubuntu changes
Debian packages again. So it’s a regular Debian sub-reversion :-)

 For an NMU, I’m an advocate of the explicit -nmu1 versioning theme.

Yes, it would probably make things easier. OTOH, if he prefers to
maintain the package in the upstream SVN repository, that should be ok
as well. In that case, we could continue importing the source tarballs
he releases, but continue maintaining our debian/-directory
independently (but checking what changes he does in the debian/ dir in
SVN).

Ok, I’ll do that.
