Could you explain the background, please?  Stretch is frozen.  Have the
release team authorized this transition?

It's rarely appropriate for an NMU to update to a new upstream version.
If you are just performing the transition in experimental, there is no
justification for it.

This is not appropriate for an NMU.  Indeed, I see that you've changed
the source format to 3.0 (quilt) -- also not appropriate for an NMU.
