Me too in the past. I'm fixing those step by step.

Just mention it in README.source. It just needs to be documented. Even
if I admit I do not understand all this because I personally never dealt
with all this stuff - but knowledged people would make some sense out
of it I guess.

Perhaps hoping is not enough - just explaining the reason why it makes
sense if we were able to write a proper watch file to always get the
latest and greatest of their software straight into Debian might be
better than hoping. It is a good idea to have some good relation with
our upstreams which starts with proper communication.

I did not used dh_make since a long time. Perhaps somebody should
check whether the latest dh_make regards DEP5 instead of missleading
packagers all the time. If not writing a bug report (wishlist or
minor) would make perfectly sense.

I'll have a look later today or tomorrow.
Thanks for your work on this
