Hi Afif,

I just uploaded without reversion for the moment, thanks for your commits.

In the end, what was the problem with the extra files ?  Is it that they get
included in a 3.0 (quilt) patch ?  In that case, I do not consider it a
problem, given that anyway, I really want that people who are serious about
modifying the source package start their work by cloning the git repository
instead of downloading the source package.

Cheers,

Charles
