I've had a brief look at the package, and have a few comments on it:
- the orig.tar.gz you've used is content-identical but not
bit-identical. This means that the archive will reject the upload
because the checksums do not match.
- you did not follow the NMU protocol [1]. At the minimum, you should
attach the debdiff to the bugs you are addressing here. In order to
faciliate this, please have a look at the nmudiff(1) command,
espc. at the option '--old'.
- Did you manage to talk about this NMU with Christian Meder? Does he
acknowledge this upload? In case you didn't manage to contact him, I
think you should adopt the package and use maintainer version
numbering. Espc. after reading #470162
