Oh, notwithstanding my previous comments, you should generally submit patches as the change that would be needed to take (in this instance) 5.1p1-8 to 5.1p1-9, not as a complete new .diff.gz which is essentially impossible to review by eye and may conflict with unreleased changes in revision control that you don't know about. Putting a new entry in debian/changelog is usually reasonable enough; just make the distribution field on the first line be "UNRELEASED" rather than "unstable".
