A couple of notes if you do create a vendor branch, which
seems a good idea.

Be sure what you import is unchanged from the popt project.

Force the branch number (-b option) to 1.7.1 to match the
version you are getting.  A this point there aren't any popt
files with revisions higher than 1.5 so there should be no
conflict with 1.7.1.
