Thanks for your work, but I don't see much of gain to upload a VCS snapshot, 
which doesn't bring anything more than extending already existing enumeration 
(yajl_gen.*). I also saw that one of your patches was accepted upstream, but 
we already have that applied for the package currently found in sid, so that 
does not make any difference with respect to uploading a new package to sid. 
There are no any critical bugs nor appealing new features, so I doubt that 
would worth buildd's time and users installing it as well. So, I think we 
should wait for 1.0.6 release instead and be fairly conservative, which is a 
good thing to do with library packages. Is that fine with you?
