These are quite big changes that seem to carry a risk of regression (in fact you listed several fixes for regressions). Since you say the bug being fixed is not that big a risk itself, this does not seem like a sensible change for a stable update - particularly as you won't provide any further regression fixes for 3.2.x. > > I can change the version string again if you think it should have > > 'debian' in it. > > Yes please. It is important. I will do this but it is now too late to include this change in the Debian 7.2 point release.
