thanks! and thanks for adding details to the changelog entry as well to
clarify the backport changes, and to update the vcs links.

The current rules would require the version to change as:

1:7.1.7-0ubuntu0.21.04.1
to
1:7.1.7-0ubuntu0.21.04.1~bpo20.04.1

I do think that generally makes sense, even though including both the '21.04.1' and '20.04.1' releases might be at first confusing. Note this does follow the backport version convention used by Debian:
https://backports.debian.org/Contribute/#index4h3

The only possible future problem with that versioning I think is if the
full 7.1.7 version was, at some point, *fully* SRU'ed back into focal.
At that point, the SRU version would usually be a version like
1:7.1.7-0ubuntu0.20.04.1, which would actually be a lower version number
than the version in backports. However, I don't think you are planning
to do that (right?), and it's also generally not allowed to do using the
SRU process.

Other than the version number, the backport looks good to me; if you can
upload it with the proper version number, I'm happy to approve it.
