Thanks for the reply, Arif.

Regarding the new upstream version: I understand it is not practical to
go for 4.7.1 now given your explanation. Let's go with 4.7.0 then.

As for the bogus debdiffs, please, fix them and make them apply cleanly
with debdiff-apply. This will at least slightly reduce the burden on the
sponsors, given that in the current state, they will either need to make
the changes themselves or pay attention to the patch reject file
generated in the process.

Finally, for the maintainer field in d/control, please go through
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebianMaintainerField so you understand why
Julian did change that field in the past. However, dpkg also carries a
change due to LP: #1951988, making dpkg-source also accept
@canonical.com addresses. This is fair based on the reasoning discussed
in the wikipage linked here. Hence, the change should be OK, and we
should most likely update that wiki page.
