-compliance in line 1119 sounds like script text/merge_debian_isos.
"converted to upper case" sounds like Rock Ridge information is not used
when the names get displayed.

What operating system do you use to inspect the resulting ISO ?
The observed effect would be explainable if it is MS-Windows, which does
not care for Rock Ridge. But Debian GNU/Linux should perceive and show the
Rock Ridge names: long and with proper upper/lower case.

So did you try booting the ISO ?
E.g. as virtual CD-ROM of a virtual machine or from USB stick after putting
it there as plain copy as prescribed by
  https://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#write-usb

What do your get from this xorriso run ?
  xorriso -indev ...insert.ISO.image.file.address.here... -ls --

I expect that you see names like
  '.disk'
  'EFI'
  'README.html'
  'README.mirrors.html'
  ...
If so, then the ISO should be usable for booting and installing Debian.

If you want to see the mixed case names on MS-Windows, then insert command
  -joliet on \
in the xorriso command list at line 1118, so that it looks like
  -stream_recording on \
  -joliet on \
  -compliance no_emul_toc


Have a nice day :)
