Thank you.

Aha, I must have misunderstood on IRC.  Did not know you were so
attached to cdbs that you do not want to maintain packages using the
dh short form rules files.  I'll remove you from uploaders.

Might very well have misunderstood others too, yes.  I hope it isn't a
big issue for anyone, as it is easy to change.

Ah, thank you.  Just what I needed.  I fetched the git repo from
jvasile and imported the tarball, as well as my debian-packaging
branch based on the great work from Tzafrir.  The result is now up
alioth, I hope I got it right, or at least fixable wrong. :)

  git clone git+ssh://git.debian.org/freedombox/withsqlite.git

Everybody, please help get this package working properly and into
Debian. :)
