This is irrelevant to the version you're uploading, so there's no point in
claiming it's a change done right now.
You can instead send any mail to 642477-d...@bugs.debian.org; preferably
with the first line being:
Version: 0.3.1-13.1
so the BTS knows what versions the bug applies to.

But _what_ does this patch fix?
I see that it squashes a bunch of unrelated changes. This is not nice but
might be acceptable if the changes are somewhat entangled and it would cost
you too much work to separate them. Yet even then, the bugs are unrelated.
It's not the act of adding a patch that's interesting, what an user or an
contributor would want to know is: "this breakage has been dealt with".

Patch file names are probably superfluous -- if someone wants to dig that
deeply, it's trivial to find that part.

Debhelper in no case checks standards-version, it's all about compat level.
libtool failing is quite nasty: it means the package uses shipped outdated
autoconfage, which, among other possible problems, will cause build failure
when a new architecture is added. But it's not an immediate problem: you
don't need to fix every bug in your first update.
