I ran "debuild" before, as I thought that was the proper way to build the
package ;-)

I'll update the README accordingly.
Actually my action was triggered by the mail to d-d-a recommending to provide
a README.source in case "dpkg-source -x $package_$vsersion.dsc ; cd
$package-$vsersion" is not the proper way to get the source package...
(And thus I plan to move README to debian/README.source.)
