Hmm, requestsync didn't include my explanation for why the merge can be turned into a sync. Let me try again:
The Ubuntu delta included three changes: a spelling/grammar fix, a Standards-Version bump, and adding a Homepage field. Debian has incorporated the first, the second is irrelevant to Ubuntu, and the third should be pushed to Debian. I've filed a bug with Debian about Homepage.
Given that Homepage would be the only relevant change, I don't think maintaining a delta is worth it, so turning this package syncable is a good thing.
