You  can package  the latest  version. Invasive  changes that  should be
avoided:
 - changing patch system (if any)
 - switching from debhelper to cdbs (or from debhelper 5 to debhelper 7)
 - reworking all debian/copyright

Sure, of course. Don't need to  keep 516560@ in copy for those questions
(I  leave the  bug in  copy of  this mail  to let  people know  that the
problem will be addressed soon).

Look at this for NMU:

We are allowed to NMU since this is RC-bug older than 7 days.
