Ah right, sorry, should have been looking for the binary package name
instead. Ok, then let's convert this into a bug against that package,
as cleanups and a request for a new upstream. :)

Attached the new diff.

(I've also renamed the Vcs field values, but those would need intervention
on alioth. :)

(Also, I noticed the choice of licensing for debian/* and while everyone
is obviously free to choose whatever they like, this kind of divergence
could create problematic siutation when adding local patches, as those
might not be acceptable to upstream for example.)

Thanks,
Guillem
