Those are quite a few changes for an NMU, I fear they are bit too much [1]. The maintainer has been recently active (albeith on other packages)… Did you talk to the maintainer about the changes? Maybe you should join efforts with Riku? [1] https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.html#when-and-how-to-do-an-nmu -- Cheers, tobi
