Neat; looking forward to trying this!

My only comment is that you are probably selling it short by calling
it "Debian package updater" - my immediate thought that this was "user"
tool for binary packages along the lines of unattended-upgrades, etc.),
rather than a developer tool that works on source packages. :)
