Ok makes sense.  I updated the timestamp with dch and pushed the  
commit.  The last question for me here is what should go into the  
changelog for this initial release?

On all other platforms/distros it'll have that file there, and its  
visible using the library browser, so it would be only on Debian that  
you didn't see the license file.  I think that sounds like minor but  
actual breakage.
