Awesome (for me).

For fairness sake, I should probably mention that I am the only one in 
this team strongly pro CDBS, while it seems (though we have no hard 
numbers) that several others are opposed to it...


README.Debian is wrongly encoded: Your name contain a non-ASCII 
character not encoded as UTF-8 which is mandatory these days.

Changelog says the package is quilt'ified.  That seems a superfluous 
comment to me, since there is nothing in the package (not even 
infrastructure files) for patching.

It seems it could make sense to add a NEWS file mentioning the change of 
path, so that existing users get informed about the need to add to 
pd-path.

Now that you use CDBS, would you then mind me adding a couple of 
additional features of that - like auto-resolving build-dependencies, 
get-orig-source rule and copyright and licensing tracking?
