Standards-Version does not really matter, it only says that you
have checked the package against some policy version.
c_rehash was deprecated but is still in unstable today, delaying the
#895075 change would have avoided that diff.
stretch has python3 3.5 and buster has python3 3.7.
Avoid adding usage of very recent python features and test that it
works on buster - python 3.7 compatibility is easier than python 2.7
compatibility.
Packages that might be updated this way in stable are special,
and it can really help you later when you try to avoid making changes
that make it harder to build and run your package on stable.
Some people are very eager to request stopping to use some deprecated
features or use the latest dh compat, if necessary explain why using
something older is important for this package.
