It's been pointed out to me that I over-reacted slightly with regards to the debhelper build-dependency change, as I'd initially read it as changing the compat level, rather than formalising the existing level via the versioned build-dep; apologies for that. Please go ahead with the revised upload, including the build-dep version change if you wish.
