RFS: screenkey - utility to display pressed keys in screencasts/presentations

Dear Alessandro,

thanks a lot for your helpful review on the package.
Please excuse my late response:

I had a problem with this, since screenkey is developed by upstream for 
ubuntu, it does include a debian folder which seems to cause problems with 
pristine-tar. If someone has a solution, I would be happy to pull.

No, leftover from ubuntu packaging. Changed.

Fixed.

Fixed with help from #debian-python

that's true. I replaced it now, but it's surely still not perfect. 
I'd be happy, if a native english speaker could have a short look.

Thanks for the reference. I didn't know there was DEP3. I've made it conform 
and will use it in future.

I'll refer him to gitweb.

Thanks again.

Best regards,
