He. I am not that active on IRC so didn't see that. README.Debian is wrongly encoded: Your name contain a non-ASCII character not encoded as UTF-8 which is mandatory these days. i'll try to fix that. i never completely figured how to do the UTF-8 think correctly... iconv should do the trickdone! Yeah, I keep seeing iconv being used but I never found that intuitive. Personally I am fan of recode, which perhaps you might find useful too: recode latin1..utf8 debian/README.Debian Changelog says the package is quilt'ified.

I imagined something like that had happened :-) I suggest to instead mention something like Use dpkg source format 3.0 (quilt). feel free to remove the line in the changelog. thanks - I assumed I was allowed already (we do teamwork, right?), just wanted to discuss here both for the potential learning experience (of you or perhaps others following our conversation) and in case you actually had a different reason that the one I (correctly, it turns out) guessed. :-) Now that you use CDBS, would you then mind me adding a couple of additional features of that - like auto-resolving build-dependencies, get-orig-source rule and copyright and licensing tracking? sure, go ahead!
