Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion.

I am a bit low on capacity at the moment, but you are very welcome to do
the debhelper backport on my behalf.  I am happy to give you commit
access to the debhelper git repo, so you can maintain the changes there
(it would also make it easier for me to contribute to the -backports
when I got more energy again).

To the best of my knowledge, the current version in testing just needs a
version bump and a rebuild in stable(-backports) with the proper version
(see also https://jenkins.debian.net/job/lintian-tests_stretch/).

Thanks,
~Niels
