Hi Werner,

Just a quick tip: you don't need to include all upstream files in your
patch, as those end up in the orig tarball.  Modifiing the get-orig-source
routine in debian/rules should be enough.

Note that g++ doesn't need to be explicitly included in build dependencies
(build-essential depends on it).
