Thanks. That still appears to include the changes mentioned above, 
however. The Standards-Version bump isn't a huge issue, and the 
dependency change may well be fine if you can explain a little more 
about why it's being removed, but in general stable updates shouldn't 
make changes like debhelper compat bumps where they're not relevant to 
fixing the issue at hand.
