the diff indeed seems reasonable. I would suggest that you upload that to unstable, and open a regular unblock bug. you can explain that to fix an earlier bug, I had to upload a git snapshot, and that this new version has almost no functional changes wrt the latest upload. then, besides attaching the full diff, you can explain that almost all changes are formatting/whitespace, and also provide a filtered diff containing only the chunks that are actual functional changes.
