Uops. I had 12 commits locally which I didn't push :)

I merged your work, thanks!

ACK.

I believe that wouldn't work, but you could try :)
Also, with debhelper compatibility 9, I usually move all debugging symbols to a
common -dbg package (let's say, codeblocks-dbg), because there's no easy way to
distinguish which symbols belongs to which package.

I admit I don't have much time for this package -- if you want, you can take
full maintainership, or just add yourself to Uploaders. I don't mind if you
want to take it all for you :) (I have too many packages to take care of, and
I'm not a heavy user of C::B).

Thanks!
David
