This was my first consideration.  However, the changes simply fit to
1.7.4+dfsg-3 and by using the '~' separator the "smaller version than in
unstable" is fulfilled as well.  I don't mind much actually - just to
explain my choice.

Yepp, I'll do so and will ask what they consider the more sensible

Will do so.
