The update indeed switches over to the new upstream. I can't complain about that. It also works, except for one issue that I was hoping would be fixed by the new upstream. Unfortunately, it isn't fixed.
The issue is that newer Ubuntu's produce source tar balls with .tar.xz extension, but the code in freight-cache (or rather apt.sh) only checks for .tar.gz and hence refuses to install the source package.
But this upgrade does work at least as well as the previous version.

Yeah, I think that issue is #24 upstream, where some orig tarball formats remain ignored.
Indeed. I just added a comment there.
This update has reached 7 days in testing and can be pushed to stable now if the maintainer wishes
