No the changes more or less match. The only noticable difference is that
you decided to resolve the conflict on
cmake/modules/GNUInstallDirs.cmake by adding this file while I decided
to keep it deleted from the master branch. This file was deleted by
taffit in commit f67673b1f8484febec1797ce854d9a6c526b05ea. So keeping it
deleted looked like the better option.

Nice trick. Will keep this in mind.

It's not very important to me. I have my fixed package and the Lernstick
distribution is not really affected as suspend/resume is not really
supported on Live Systems on USB. On the other hand NEW processing is
rather slow these days, so uploading 2.1.0-1 without this change might
be worth it. You can then upload the new package to experimental and get
it through NEW while still being able to update the package in unstable
if needed.

No need to be sorry, you are the Maintainer so I should have asked or
expect my work to be not needed. ;-)
