That was quick :)

To be honest, I also had this concern when I read your first mail on
-mentors. Something less generic might be nice if we come up with a
good idea.

suncal(c) would be my favourite at the moment.

<brainstorming mode>
Before sunset (movie title)
From dusk till dawn
something with 'rise' and 'set'
Rise and Shine!
twiglight (since it's an option)

Yup, works.

Purely aesthetic remark: You used "debhelper (>= 9.0.0)" now. The
additional minor version has no benefit over a plain "(>= 9)". (It
also doesn't hurt to the best of my knowledge.)

Perfect!

Well, yes, looks like someone should update lintian on mentors.d.n :)

Yup, that was my idea.


One last nitpick: The example with Berlin in the manpage seems to
have wrong coordinates; --lat=50.55 --lon=-6.2 is in the Atlantic
between Britanny and Cornwall (or Finistère and Land's End). 


Ok, so let's think a bit about the name, and maybe somone else wants
to take a look at the package, but basically this looks all very good
already.


Cheers,
gregor
