Hi Alexander!
debian/changelog is "Debian" changelog, not upstream one. Instead of
"Split long unfilled polylines to avoid problems with OpenOffice.org
being apparently unable to read xml attribute values longer than 64kB.",
you should say "New upstream release". You only need to cite upstream
changelog if it corresponds to a bug in Debian bug tracker.
Moreover, we are currently in freeze. Your upload will stay in unstable
without going to testing. If there is an important problem with 0.18-1
which is in testing, it is easier to fix it if you can push the fix to
unstable without pushing additional changes. Otherwise, it would have to
be uploaded to testing-proposed-updates which causes more work for
everybody and less possibilities of testing (no "grace" period to ensure
that a few people test the package).
However, the change is not very large (especially if we ignore
indentation changes), so in case a fix needs to be pushed, maybe this
new upstream version would be accepted as well. Therefore, it is up to
you to upload to unstable (if you think that having a RC bug filed
against fig2sxd is low probability and even if there is one, the current
change is likely to be accepted) or to experimental.
