You are merely consolidating all your changes into a separate package 
(what has its advantages) but it is still deviations from upstream. The 
spirit of the guidelines is to avoid such changes or atleast document 
them and that is the case for kde-settings as well. I was around in 
FUDCon Boston when Aaron Seigo suggested that changed btw and even then 
talked to Rex Dieter that we should make a good faith effort to atleast 
notify upstream of the changes we are making. If a number of downstreams 
are making a change, they might be convinced to change the defaults.  
Sometimes, upstream projects have noted important side effects of such 
changes, which package maintainers were not aware of that  (that opens a 
security risk, that particular option is unstable and hard to reproduce 
etc).

See above.
