Hi Norwid,

NMUs should be minimal [1], every fix needs to target (a reported) bug.

While new upstream versions *can* be done in NMUs, this needs proper
reasoning, as said, also in a bug against the package and probably also
in this RFS.
Have you checked whether the new upstream version breaks reverse
depdendencies?

NMUs needs to be announced to the package maintainer, you'll find
nmudiff(1) handy for this task. (just tweak the text of nmudiff to
point to this RFS.)
