Alternatively, the patch could just be applied to the existing stable
package. That might not play nicely with automating the build from git,
but it would produce a minimal diff.

If the patch to be applied to stable is the only difference between -4

Unless 0.3-5 needs until after June 15th to migrate to jessie, that's
not an issue. If it does, the package from p-u gets copied in to jessie
in the short term.
