Why? Is there any reason you can't just revert the version in unstable? That
way we don't have to push a new untested upload to stretch. If this upload
goes through unstable, there is a higher change that issues are detected (and
fixed).

Because the version in unstable is a new upstream version, and the version in testing is already a revert of a newer upstream version. I don't want to confuse things even more. 

The changes I propose are quite minimal, and the version we have in testing has been there for quite some time already. I don't think there's a high risk of introducing a regression with a bug fix.
