On the contrary! 3.9.6 is the current policy version. I'd (strongly!)
advise for any developer to set:
$ cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/01-debian-policy.pref
Package: debian-policy
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 605
$ cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/01-lintian.pref
Package: lintian
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 601
When you have these packages installed you will learn about 3.9.6.
BTW, I can not recommend stronly enough the usage of
cme fix dpkg-control
(see Debian policy what packages to install to get this working.) I did
so and this (and other things) were fixed automatically before I
uploaded. I wish every sponsor would run this before asking for
sponsorship. ;-)

Well, usually errors *need* to be fixed. Otherwise the package will be
auto-rejected. However, I can not confirm this problem. Perhaps its
your old lintian?

I told you previously that the ".SH NAME" section is wrong in all the
manpages. Names need to be specified as
<binary> \- <short description>
All manpages are just specifying
<binary>
I ignored this problem for the moment. If you might find a way to tweak
the manpage generation to add a sensible short description - please do so
in future releases.

Its uploaded to new queue.
Thanks for your work on this
Andreas.
