My cowbuilder chroot is current. Happens with sid and jessie chroot.
I just did a
cowbuilder --update --distribution=sid --basepath=/var/cache/pbuilder/base-sid.cow
and it still happens with your updates.

This is what I call to build:
git-buildpackage --git-pristine-tar --git-pbuilder -sa --git-ignore-new

Great. I have sent upstream a pull request that contains some cleanups
including the changes from the two patches 00-fix_build.patch and
01-hyphen-used-as-minus-sign.patch.

If we've got everything I'll see whether upstream wants to make a new
release with the last changes before we release the Debian package.
