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.
