I guess this should be alright. But as per devref, you may want to choose
"1.7.4+dfsg-2+deb12u1".

It probably should. There's a d/ch entry I found for argon2 package
here[7] in case that helps you.

devref says "Ask for authorization for uploading from the release
managers."

So I suppose it makes sense to file a bug before you upload and ping
them back again once you upload as per

"After uploading and successful build on all platforms, contact the
release team at debian-release at lists.debian.org and ask them to approve
your upload."
