I would say this is much more fitting for an SRU than the big backport. I would propose trying to release this anyway as the backport can take longer to get prepared and then reviewed - big upstream releases as SRUs are never easy to handle.
Looking at the debdiff, it's mostly ok although we would need a DEP-3 header on the patch [1] to give more background on the change that's being made. Also, the 'Non-maintainer upload' changelog entry is not required in Ubuntu. Could you fix those and re-attach the patch? Thanks!
