Cool, that's a very responsive upstream. :)

xdotool will probably need to add some new binary packages for the
library and the -dev package, so the next upload might have to go
through the NEW queue.

All the details will be in the library packaging guide:

I would suggest you work with Daniel to get an updated xdotool
package.

Once the new xdotool library is in the archive, you need to modify
your package to Build-Depend on the new -dev package.

I think it's worth waiting until this is done before uploading a new
keynav version; what do you think?
