I suppose this will have to be uploaded to stable-proposed-uploads as

version, so how do we avoid collisions?

Maybe I'm missing something here, but what's wrong with the usual
appending of "etch1" to the existing version number, i.e. 1.1-3etch1?

That in this specific case, the fix involves repacking the upstream sources
to remove non-free contents, and the version number used in unstable has a
Debian part of -0.1.

I think 1.1.dfsg-3.1 in unstable would have been better; that would allow
use of 1.1-3+etch1 in stable.

Any reason why the maintainer is not at least Cc-ed in this discussion?

The easiest way is probably to have an upload of the new upstream version (with maintainer's consent) and have 1.1.dfsg-1 or similar for stable.
