Well, about the README, the previous maintainer included it, and the
url of the upstream's bug tracker is there, but that is not very

The same goes for AUTHORS.

The file is in our git repository[0], it should not be in the
debian/changelog, I suppose that we were too eager to start
registering some progress there. The commit message should have been
