Fine thanks.  I had a look into this and fixed several things in the
packaging specifically I now got the Build-Depends right - at least the
binary package is created now.

The injection was perfectly fine - as I said I fixed some things - just
do `svn up; svn log` .

To continue with this I would really like you to consider releasing some
kind of versioned source tarball to enable us writing a watch file.  As
far as I was told even proper tagging at github might do the trick.  In
case you create the tarball please make sure that it untars into a
directory like  python-casmoothing-<version> and not just simply throws
all its content into the current directory.
 
I also think that the package deserves a bit better long description -
some cut-n-pasted phrases from the paper abstract might do the trick.

Kind regards and thanks for your work on this

      Andreas.
