Something like:
"cover based on photo by Alice Smith"

Not something like:
"cover based on photo by Alice Smith with the
bison cropped out and replaced with a flamingo"

Sounds fine to me.

I agree. As the examples in the license text also indicate, the key is to identify (roughly) what part of the derivative work was based on the old work, rather than what part of the old work was used.
