Like, say, documenting the fact that they've made the upstream changes?

They do mark the package as fixed.  They just mark it somewhere besides
the version string.  Don't think "they're not publicizing this" just
because you don't know where to look.

Like Googling for "ubuntu gnupg upstream"?

For instance, in 1.4.6-1-ubuntu2, they adopted a patch from upstream
GnuPG fixing a bug in how --status-fd was handled.
