You should file a separate unblock request for capi4hylafax, once it is in
unstable (with the rc bug fix). There is no need to change the bugs before the
upload.

There is no need to create a 3:6.0.6-5 identical to 3:6.0.6-1 first. You can
just create 3:6.0.6-5, based on 3:6.0.6-1, with the changes for wheezy (and
without other changes from 3:6.0.6-2, 3:6.0.6-3 and 3:6.0.6-4 that are not
appropriate for wheezy).
This version 3:6.0.6-5 should be uploaded to unstable.
After the wheeze release, you can upload a new version (which includes the
changes from 3:6.0.6-4) to unstable. If you really want to upload such a
version before the release, you can do that in experimental.

There is no need to increase the epoch here.

This wouldn't work, as you can't upload 3:6.0.6-2+deb7u1 to unstable, because
unstable has 3:6.0.6-4, which is higher.

I think a (without a separate upload identical to 3:6.0.6-1) is the most
obvious way. But in practice, any upload of hylafax to unstable that includes
that necessary fixes (but no other changes) and that has a version higher than
3:6.0.6-4 will do :)
