Does picking build date sound OK, or do we want something really
related to the last upstream commit? I can take care of it.

ACK. We already do that for other drivers. I'll take care of it.

dh_shlibdeps -- --warnings=6. Consequence of the plugin status.

I've already some patches on top of your current branch (like the
dh_shlibdeps one), I'll wait for your answer to my previous mail about
a possible reabse of your branch before pushing your branch and those
changes (current + above-mentioned) to the repository.
