It's now in the same state as the upstream/0.1.4 tag, which is good.

Thanks.

(The audiences are different: patch header / Git history is mainly for
Debian and upstream contributors; debian/changelog is mainly for
users :)

I've removed (976042c) the trailing whitespace that was introduced
while improving debian/changelog. I thought you had configured your
Git to error on apply.whitespace, no?

I suggest starting a sub-thread with a clear subject.

Great!

Using DEP3 is a great idea.

I can't see any similar noise in the Vidalia packaging branches I've
looked at, so perhaps we're not talking of the same thing. To clarify
what I meant, I've addressed my own concerns in commit fe43cca.
Clearer now?

By the way, I see that both patches have Author == Reviewed-By.
Sounds wrong to suggest that someone reviewed their own work, no?

One final note: I had to forcefully replace the existing
debian/0.1.4-1 tag. In the future, please don't tag the packaging
before it was uploaded: tagging debian/0.1.4-1 means "that's what
landed in the Debian archive as torbirdy 0.1.4-1", not "that's the
current WIP state aimed to become torbirdy 0.1.4-1 in Debian some
day" :)

Anyway: built, tested and uploaded. Thanks!

Cheers!
