Here's an updated debdiff. I did very little of what you asked, though Martin. :)

Basically, I just dropped the preinst and postinst changes. We don't care about pre-hardy changes because they'd be end-of-life or we don't care because people have to upgrade releases incrementally and Karmic is >1 upgrade from Fiesty?

As for the debhelper change, that went in because dh_installudev was modified in Ubuntu to install into /usr/lib/rules.d. So Scott (who bumped the dependencies) didn't care about the compat version; he just wanted a fixed dh_installudev change. He also fixed the cdbs dependency to take into account Ubuntu versions of cdbs while he was there.

The udev changes can't go into Debian (as-is) until the aforementioned dh_installudev changes go in. See the discussion (in which you are involved) in Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=491117.

As for Homepage, sure. Debian report here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=533190
