I understand, I'll keep that in mind for the next time.

I followed your recommendations and modified the control file. It's cleaner
that way.
(Sorry for the last two commits, it's ugly, I should have been careful and
pushed this in one go)
In fact, since several people have been involved in maintaining this
package (including those helping me),
I wonder if my name is really legitimate in the "Uploaders" field of the
d/control file.

Ok thanks, it's done. I will take time to think about doing a more serious
test for the next release.
This one is not really testing much, actually.

Thank you for your patience and your precious help Samuel.
