Since already quite some bugs are fixed, I think it'd be good to release
anyway, and simply release again in a week (or two, whatever), and
simply keep releasing as fixes are committed.
However, where to draw the line, is quite arbitrary. We do need soon a
moment of no commits, some testing, release, and go on. As there is also
some deb-format stuff still to discuss/change, another 'call for
testing' needs to happen anyway, so if you can commit these fixes soon
(i.e. today or something), I see no problem at all including them (it
won't really delay the next release I think, if you have doubts about a
patch, please do hold off for a short while).
So, do as you seem fit.
