Hi.

I made the changes needed to comply with the debian-science policy. I also tied
up some minor packaging loose ends, so the package is now lintian-clean even
with --pedantic.

The ITP bug is as above. The latest .dsc is at:
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/feedgnuplot/feedgnuplot_1.23.dsc

Note that currently the source of the tool itself is maintained together with
the debianization, so a native package is made. This doesn't appear to be
explicitly contra-indicated by the debian-science policy; let me know if I
missed it.

Thanks
