Dear maintainer:
I tried to build this package with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(i.e. only architecture-independent packages), and it failed:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This happens because debian/notion/[...] does not exist, because "notion"
is architecture-dependent and we are creating arch-independent packages only.
The solution is to use -arch and -indep suffixes for override_dh_* targets.
I'm going to provide a patch which fixes this bug and also Bug #830577.
Once that both "dpkg-buildpackage -A" and "dpkg-buildpackage -B" work
properly, the package would be suitable to be uploaded in source-only
form if you wish. I would strongly recommend that you do that.
Thanks.
