In debian, that is considered an NMU (Non Maintainer Upload) and is  
considered bad form. Maemo doesn't have that policy; if its broke and  
you fix it, good for you! Of course, it might be considered rude to  
work on someone else's software without sending them patches first or  
what have you. So I recommend just sending a patch if you can.
