If you are the package maintainer you don't do NMUs, but plain uploads.

If they are fixed in an old version, why are they mentioned in this upload
entry? Please read

Why are they not owned by the package? Obsolete conffiles should be
removed by dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile.

I've also noticed the priority: extra field, which means when you updated
Standards-Version to 4.0.1 in the previous upload you haven't actually
consulted
