I don't think these count as a new upstream version. They are commits
applied to the development branch but no tag or any "release" has been
made. I don't think it's a good idea to upload these to Debian until
there's a release - especially when there are API changes that upstream
could potentially revert before a release.

If you want to see these changes in Debian then the best way is try to
persuade upstream to do a proper "0.0.9" release, then I will happily
update the package.
