Yes: 1.5-1 *was* uploaded, to the mentors repository. That means an unknown number have already got 1.5-1 (I even explicitly asked them to do so), and releasing a changed package without also changing the release number would be needlessly confusing. In a real sense, once I upload a revision of a package to mentors.d.n it *is* released, even if it doesn't make it into Debian. So any further changes made should be to a subsequent release number. There have been complaints from DDs in the past on this very forum about re-uploading to mentors.d.n a different package with the same release number.

You cannot just steal the package. Did you ask the actual maintainer if
he would like to orphan the package? If he is not answering, you should
collect evidences of its inactivities and ask QA to orphan his
packages. Look at the Debian Developer's Reference for details on this.
