I don't understand everything, during last Debconf I uploaded 1.6.10-2
with this change:

  * Add support for overlay filesystem in Linux 4.0. Closes: #785633
    Thanks to Antonio Teirceiro and Felipe Sateler for the patch.

It's probably missing in the experimental version but you're speaking
of "porting" the patch to 1.7.3... do you mean porting your own patch
from 1.7.2 to 1.7.3 (is that released upstream?). Or porting Antonio's
patch to 1.7.x?

Cheers,
