GMT+1, I'll be able to write here only in the afternoon

What puzzles me the most is
- Need changelog with correct version and details of changes
I thought I did that
- need d/gbp.conf with correct branch
????????

But maybe I'll understand tomorrow with a look at the docs you linked

By the way I tried to forward the patch to the upstream repo through a pull request, with a bit of luck the mantainer will accept it and we won't need anymore keeping our package updated

About the bug you linked, I have no clue about what causes it nor what would solve it, neither I see a patch that could be used
