The Standards-Version field in debian/control declares the Debian Policy
version that the package complies with. Currently, the custom source packages
use a hard-coded Standards-Version: 3.9.6, which is obsolete and does not align
with the policies of newer Debian releases
Update the packaging to set the correct Standards-Version dynamically based on
the target Debian suite, ensuring compliance with the appropriate Debian Policy
version for each release.

Hm... But that means that downstream users might end up with a
different standard version for their package after updating isar the
next time.
I'm expecting build failures here and there. Quite sure that not all
packages / recipes out there will fulfill the newer standards.
Maybe add a short note to the API changelog? An available quick fix
would be to overwrite STANDARDS_VERSION in the affected recipes.

We have a lot of hand-written control files with that version in isar
and isar-cip-core in addition. Any plans for addressing those as well?
BTW, what is the concrete impact of not having a recent version? Missing
that from this description.
