Hi Roberto, Thanks for looking at the package, and for the quick feedback.
The lintian warning about the debian/changelog was now fixed, the line was shortened a bit to stay within the 80 character limit. To make the transition from the old bibledit-gtk to the new bibledit easier, package bibledit-gtk was introduced again, as transitional dummy package to bibledit, and in a similar way bibledit-gtk-data as a transitional dummy package to bibledit-data. I tested the upgrade cycle from bibledit-gtk 4.9 in Debian sid to the new bibledit 5.x. It works okay now, after the fields Depends, Replaces, and Breaks, were added to debian/control. The debian/changelog now uploads to the experimental pool of packages, rather than to the unstable distribution. I had not realized that Debian 9 Stretch is so close to release now. Yup, good plan to upload this first release to experimental. After stretch gets frozen, the next upload could be targetted at unstable again, even before release, or it needs to wait till after the release of stretch? (Extra, unrelated, but perhaps interesting, info: There is also "bibledit-desktop" (https://github.com/postiffm/bibledit-desktop), which really is a continuation from bibledit-gtk, renamed to -desktop, and is being developed independently by another developer.)
