upstream changes basically look okay but the packaging changes on the
whole aren't really appropriate for stable (e.g the source format
change, the misc:Depends addition and the dh_installdocs change).
Please prepare a debdiff including the upstream changes and send it to
-release for a pre-upload ack. The description changes in
debian/control could also be included if you wish.

Every package released via -updates goes via proposed-updates first, so
the upload target should still be stable.
