Maybe it's a good thing as you say but I prefer variables in front...

Perhaps I need time to adopt a new tool as well.

But although the idea of wrap-and-sort is nice, the implementation is not:
there is no --dry-run mode and it silently touches debian/copyright file.
Verbose mode doesn't even show what does it do.

Also I like to keep packaging dependencies in first line followed by list of 
upstream dependencies. I like having debhelper as first dependency etc.

I hope I'm not too conservative...

OK. I'm not that stubborn to protect this particular comment line. :)

Feel free to remove it if you like.

Thank you. I'm glad we can keep this one.

Thank you very much for upload and for adding "${xpi:Breaks}" which I missed. 
I much appreciate you attention and care for this package.

All the best,
Dmitry.
