Hi,
Not commenting on the specific patch at this point, but a few points of
procedure.

The metadata for that bug suggests that the issue still affects
unstable. Assuming that's correct, that needs addressing first. (If
it's not, the metadata should be updated with an appropriate fixed
version.)

Nope. The bug against release.d.o is closed by us once the package has
been included in a point release, not by the upload. The bug an upload
should be closing is #905299.

As per the Dev Ref and (possibly too infrequent) dda reminders, the
version should be (stable)+deb9u1, and the suite "stretch".

oldstable (jessie) is no longer managed by the Release Team, but has
been in the hands of the LTS team since mid-June, as per https://lists.

There are no point releases for any release other than stretch at this
point. oldoldstable (i.e. wheezy) has been entirely out of (LTS)
support since the end of May this year (c.f. https://www.debian.org/New
s/2018/20180601).
