I suggest you dig through the git history of both HSLuv and
Python-HSLuv to develop an intuition about how the upstreams are
developing both projects and then clarify the details of their
development processes with upstream.

Personally, I find the thought of modifying generated code to be
horrible and would have either stuck with building from Haxe or
reimplementing the code in Python.

At the end of the day, what matters is that there is equality of
access to the work between the upstream authors and users of Debian
derivatives. i.e., make sure upstream aren't keeping something secret
or using something proprietary and make sure Debian passes on what we
receive from upstream.
