Hi, I git-pushed a patch for limereg that fixes #792624 and #792625. 
This is my first patch and I don't know what to do now, will the new git 
version automatically be added to sid and stretch ? Or do I need to 
contact someone ?

Bug cause: Doxygen (not help2man) added the current date to liblimereg's 
man pages, this lead to different man pages for amd64/i386, which voids 
Debian's multiarch concept.

Solution: As first patch I added to debian/rules:

override_dh_install:
     sed -i 's/^.TH .*/.TH "liblimereg" 3 "August 2015" 
"liblimereg-1.4.0" \\" -*- nroff -*-/' 
debian/tmp/usr/share/man/man3/liblimereg.3
     sed -i 's/^.TH .*/.TH "limereg.h" 3 "August 2015" 
"liblimereg-1.4.0" \\" -*- nroff -*-/' 
debian/tmp/usr/share/man/man3/limereg.h.3
     dh_install

In future upstream versions I will probably drop doxygen and use hand 
crafted documentation.

Debian rocks !
