Half-built -- I can do the amd64 build tomorrow.

Have you considered (not for this release, since I'm almost done) using xz
compression for the *.deb files?  The size of a lot of these packages is
huge, and generally that means that xz compression will be a considerable
win.

override_dh_builddeb:
	dh_builddeb -- -Zxz

will do it.  (I suspect it will become the default at some point.)

Similarly, you may want to consider that for the *.orig.tar.gz tarball,
making that *.orig.tar.xz instead.  That requires no special support as
long as you're using a 3.0 source format, which I see you already are.

I suspect it would shrink quite a bit.
