You should just drop this hard-coded dependency on liblopsub1. This is
what shlibs are for.

This is a very basic question about package versioning which is answered in
Debian Policy.

No.  Please do not upload this change to unstable; these changes will be
batch-uploaded to unstable at the appropriate time, *after* dpkg has been
uploaded to unstable changing the default build flags.

Once the NMU has been uploaded to unstable, you are free to make further
uploads to unstable incorporating this change.
