Accepting a submit request deletes the source package even if there are changes

[Vogtinator]

1. Branch a package, make some changes
2. Make a submit request with those changes
3. Make further changes to the branched package
4. Accept the request from 2

Expected result: The package is not deleted

What happens: The package is deleted

If it weren't for osc undelete, this causes work to be lost.

well, actually, I don't think that I want to change it. It is a user error from my POV and there is a resolution to recover as you mentioned. I don't want just to skip a former wanted action at least (the removal).

It's not really "actively" wanted as it's just the default for submit requests from ~:branch projects.

The principle of least surprise would say that deleting the newest state because an older state was enabled for cleanup doesn't really make sense.
