For the record, the freeze policy intentionally requests that debdiffs
be attached to the bug report. There's no guarantee that what's
currently at that people.d.o location will be there at any future point,
or match what's currently there; it also doesn't really work for people
reading mail offline.

That makes the debdiff very noisy. :-( But yes,
0009-rebased-patch-queue.patch is not particularly helpful.

I'm not sure I understand the question. The changelog has
+libguestfs (1:1.18.1-1wheezy1) testing; urgency=low
so the package won't go to unstable. You just upload to ftp-master as
usual.
In line with the versioning policy described in the Developers Reference
(with a slight modification we aim to have documented there soon), we'd
prefer a version of "1:1.18.1-1+deb7u1" though.
Regards,
Adam
