Upfront: The below is written from the perspective of a upstream
maintainer and debian user (and very minor contributor if at all), I do
not have much packaging experience - please excuse obvious oversights ;)

What's the reason to expect more work when skipping more versions? My
naive view is that it is more work to do more steps (e.g. because on
every step you need to make sure all versions in debian are compatible).
At the least I can strongly recommend to jump to the latest respective
patch version (e.g. v1.7.1 is a minimal hotfix for an annoying issue in
v1.7.0).

The quic dependency is unfortantely quite a moving target. As the
version in debian is very recent (0.17) you'll need Syncthing >=1.6.0 or
probably patches from
https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/commit/ac7338f1f2f10f67f16aa98b35fc97b4e043b7e5
(no guarantees that's all, that's what came time to mind - untested and
I'd anyway expect updating to be not much more of a pain than patching).

In general I am happy to help out with packaging - it just seemed that
delays recently were mostly due to new dependencies, where I do not have
any proficience thus my involvement would probably slow stuff down
instead of speeding it up. Feel free to prod me anytime if there is
useful task I can do or for any questions where I might have expertise :)

Cheers,
Simon
