Thanks for the input. I've done the necessary changes, so here's the new file:

Changes: 
 gtklp (0.9s-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream version, merged patches in 0.9p-1 to upstream source:
     - "Look" check boxes now work properly (Closes: #153779)
     - (Some) typos in the man page have been corrected (Closes: #170642)
     - Spanish translation of "even" and "odd" are now correct (Closes:
       #226839)
   * GTK2 is now the default, fixed debian/control and description
   * Fixed debian/rules to deal with leftover .gmo's
   * Fixed debian/copyright, but source should also be changed to conform with
     GPL licensing rules (i.e., putting the license declaration _inside_ the
     source, it's not enough to just include the COPYING file ;)
   * Rebuilt gtklp against libcupsys2-gnutls10 (Closes: #249494)
   * Upstream says the following bugs have been fixed since 0.9p:
     - Printer instances ought to be supported (Closes: #218608)
     - Now doesn't dump core when no printers are available (Closes: #170025)
     - Should now save page option on being told to do so (Closes: #174518)
     - Printing on localhost should now recognize printer settings (Closes:
       #177478)
