Your version is acceptable as it is larger than 0.9.21.dfsg-4. It might
be ugly a bit dangerous and misleading, but it is feasible in your case.
That said I realize this is not your fault, so let's deal with it. If
upstream ever releases a new version you may consider switching to a
better version scheme, though.
Having that said, you still didn't include deltas from previous versions
in Debian. Frankly, the difference is minor and mostly the changelog -
but for consistency you should include it to your package.
I gave you a link to the latest version which ever appeared in Debian.
Please do a diff against your package and incorporate changes you aren't
including yet (e.g. the version history in debian/changelog)

I noticed you added VCS links - thanks. Please do also push your updates
there. As a new maintainer, this is your repository now. :)
If you prefer something else than SVN (or some other location to
Alioth), please follow instructions on the wiki regarding collab-maint
repositories [1], and push a pointer to the new location on the old
repository. If you decide to do so, please update the VCS links in the
package as well.

Thanks.
