3.1.0-3 sounds wrong if sid has only 3.1.0-1 In the .maintscript you want the version 3.1.0-3~ since you also want to fix this on upgrades from the buggy versions that didn't do symlink_to_dir. (or -2~ if you plan to upload it as -2) The piuparts options --testdebs-repo, --bindmount and --distupgrade-to-testdebs might be helpful to test upgrading from stretch directly to the new packages (and then use -a python-ldap-dbg, don't pass .deb files). If it isn't clear from the documentation, a plain directory with *.deb and the corresponding Packages file (from dpkg-scanpackages . > Packages) can be given to both --testdebs-repo and --bindmount, no need to fiddle with a 'deb [trusted=yes] file://' prefix and ' ./' suffix for --testdebs-repo.
