Done

Maybe, but I've checked another (non-php-pkg-tools) package for which I am
in Uploaders in the source control file. In that package (liblucene2-java)
the Uploaders field is also absent in the resulting .deb.

So, this seems OK.

Removed. It had been added by dh-make-pear.

I've set the Homepage and Description manually, because the generated
homepage says 'http://pear.php.net/' which is almost useless, and the
generated short description says 'NNTP implementation' which doesn't
mention PHP nor PEAR.

It's also clean with lintian from sid.

I've uploaded a new release (candidate), the .dsc is at
http://www.vanbest.org/debian/unstable/php-net-nntp_1.4.0-1.dsc

Could you please have another look?

By the way, I've asked for inclusion in the pkg-php group on Alioth in
order to push my git tree to git/pkg-php/php-net-nntp, but I've had no
reaction up to now. Could one of you arrange that for me?

Cheers
