Please go ahead. I have never done this before so I don't want to mess
things up. I would rather watch and learn.

I verified the differences between the 3.9.1 and 4.1.5 and found nothing
that needs to be taken care for this package.

Why stick with debhelper 9? Current version is 11.

It was more of what is the minimum version requested by policy. I did not
find anything specific in version 11 which I wanted to use and hence kept
at 9. Also looking at [1], it sounds like package build will break if we
bump to 11.

First attempt at packaging after so many years so did not want to major
changes. I will consider getting rid of cdbs with next upstream release.

debian/watch should be bumped to version 4.

Will you do this for me if you are looking into importing upstream source

And I personally suggest to make the package ready for maintaining it by

Will try to learn about this. :-)
