Ok.  Because `gem2deb` serves as a starting point, a subsequent upload to
Debian requires at least to edit `UNRELEASED` to `unstable` atop of
d/changelog then this can be prevented by an (optional)

``` .gitignore
debian/.debhelper/
```

I think it is worth an addition to https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Ruby/Packaging
as a reminder, especially since `gem2deb` intends to help newcomers to package.
I'll ask for access over there.

Thanks,
Norwid
