Dear Tobias,
Thank you for your feedback and guidance. I appreciate your time and will
address the points you've raised.
I will remove the references to upstream bugs in the changelog and clarify
the reason for the changes to ignore-patterns. I will also look into
cutting a new release as suggested.
I will rectify these and ensure that Wi-Fi is spelled correctly as per
Lintian's recommendations.
I will consider putting the Debian packaging on its own branch and will
review the Upstream Guide.
Thank you again for your help. I will update the package accordingly and
resubmit it for review.
