Yes, it makes it harder for people to backport packages to stable when you build-depend on versions of packages not available there; and debhelper only changes interfaces when a new major version is released, so AFAIK this versioned build-dependency is not needed. Certainly, there were no changes in version 4.9.3 that would seem relevant. If you can fix this minor issue, I can sponsor an upload of 1.1.1 for you.
