It's been pointed out to me that I over-reacted slightly with regards to
the debhelper build-dependency change, as I'd initially read it as
changing the compat level, rather than formalising the existing level
via the versioned build-dep; apologies for that.

Please go ahead with the revised upload, including the build-dep version
change if you wish.
