You are correct. The *.build file proves this.

I confirm that this is perfectly optional once the test has run at build
time and we can ignore this option for the first upload in any case.

I've commited some extensive rework since to my experience you were mixing
up things that belong into the long description (which should be read by
people who just browse the Debian package pool for interesting stuff) and
people who have actually installed the package and need to get more specific
information. The later is given in /usr/share/doc/<pkg>/README.Debian.
If you confirm my latest change I will upload as it is now.

We should ignore this for the moment. I have varying experience by
creating such files. It might bring more harm than good when it needs
changes on other architectures. I think we will live with this for the
moment.

Please `git pull` have a look into the new long descriptions and the
debian/*.README.Debian files. If you confirm that everything is fine
for you I will upload as is.
Kind regards
Andreas.
