I have no reason to disagree and so I'll upload your changes to Debian
as well.

OK.

That's OK for me. However, I'd move the packaging to Git to make sure
we are working on exactly the same upstream tarball. Can you provide
your source tarball somewhere for download (or create the Git repository
yourself - whatever you prefer). We should just document the reason
for sticking to an old version in README.Debian.
Thanks for your work on this
Andreas.
