By footprint, do you mean its size on disk, the number
of dependencies, how much RAM it uses when running,
etc?

I don't know what you mean by that. Care to explain?

Yeah. All of their modifications are in our source
tree, if you want to look at them. It includes some
code changes to better integrate with their "Hildon"
framework, some code changes to strip out unecessary
features (like printing), and some modified dialogs,
for their constrained screen size and modified feature
set. All of this is documented in the mailing list
archives.

It might be. I don't think that you've said enough
about what modifications you'll make or how you plan
to achieve them for us to answer your question.

Generally, I'd rather do development in our tree.
There's always the chance that what you do will be
useful for someone else in the future, provided it
doesn't disrupt the rest of the application too badly
(and is maintainable).

Best,
Dom
