Looks OK.
BTW, I'd like to add one comment: I think commiting the upstream
tarball in the SVN repo is silly. I know, I've already said so
in the past and I still stand, because it doesn't add any historical
benefit to the repository (every tarball has a different name).
So, I'd propose that we move those tarballs to a dedicated
download location: alioth provides an Anonymous FTP location
which could be use for that purpose. We could also use
the space dedicated to the web stuff.
