Hi Sudip, thanks for the update. Looks good, but before uploading: Is there a reason not to package 6.5.9?
For future uploads there are a few modernization possiblities, like please check whether get-orig.sh be replaced by using Files-Excluded; please check if you decide to package 6.5.9. Maybe d/rules could be refactored as some of the bits are probably standard in newer debhelper now, like the hardening and the manual configure target. Did not check if it makes sense, but would be cool if you could take a look or at least put it on your To-Do list.
