Woo!  Thanks for the 0.9.5-1 upload, Andreas.

Looking a bit more at the packaging, i had some ideas for two more
things we might want to try for GPA in the future.  one's easy, one
might be a crazy rabbit hole:

 * update to debhelper 9 (i think just updates debian/compat and the
versioned build-dep in debian/control)

 * autopkgtest ?  I have never done this for graphical programs, but it
occurs to me that, combined with something like xdotool to automate user
interaction, we could get some baseline testing of how we expect gpa to
behave on an installed system.

for more about autopkgtest, see here (follow the main link, since the
DEP8 is pretty minimalist):  http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep8/
