The metadata of that bug indicates that it also affects the newer version of arandr.

That sounds like it would probably be fine, but a defdiff of the proposed package would be appreciated for confirmation. In the context of package updates, when we refer to a debdiff we usually mean one of the _source_ packages, not the resulting binar(y|ies), to indicate the actual changes to the uploaded package which result from the rebuild. The version number would need to be 0.1.7.1-1~deb7u1; otherwise it would be higher than the version in testing/unstable.
