That happens with a new upstream.

Is there anyone I could send it to for comments? If you publish it somewhere, I can have a look, but I also really recommend you to e-mail the maintainer directly or even better, add this information to the bug report, so that your progress is logged in a public place. If the maintainer remains silent for a long time (even after pinging) additional steps might be appropriate, but you have to give the maintainer of the package a few chances. > I can now build version 1.3 and install it (with multi-arch support included). > > I've tried to modernize the packaging properly, but again, I've probably > overlooked issues. Hmm, I would only do these kind of changes if the maintainer is ok with that. If people propose debdiff's for my packages, I usually find that inappropriate if they did not ask beforehand. I suggest you read the documentation on NMU in the developers reference, as a lot is valid for this kind of help with maintainers: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.html#nmu We might eventually even make an NMU for dotconf, but only after following the right procedures.
