Your debdiff modifies the source code inline. Using a patch (adding a patchsystem if needed) is a better choice.
Please, fix your debdiff, and send the patch to Debian, in case you think it apply there too.

I was told that when you are only making a small change to the source code, and the package does not have a patch system in place, it is better to simply make the changes inline. If this is not the case, is there any specific patch system that I should add? Or is it my choice?

Personally, I prefer to always use a patch system, even for small changes, for many different reasons. In this case, you can apply the patchsystem you like most.

Well, it took a while, but I think I finally got a dpatch patch system added successfully.

Here is an updated version of the previous debdiff. This debdiff includes a more complete debian/README.source file.

I'm able to rebuild it on my pbuilder without any issues, is this really required?
Also, since current .diff.gz already ship inline modifications, I'd suggest to conform to it.

I just tested the package again Luca. It successfully built in my pbuilder. I am changing the status of this bug to 'Invalid', as the patch is not needed. I also only added a patch system because of Andrea's comment.
