Uploaded.

For future reference, I noticed the following that you may want to fix in
a later version of the package.  None of it was important enough for me to
not upload.

 * The changelog entries were indented a bit more than is usual in other
   packages.

 * There's a README.Debian noting that the source was repackaged.  I
   prefer to put those details into debian/copyright.  They're mostly of
   importance to people who would also want to know the other details in
   debian/copyright and they're really not interesting to the average user
   of the package (who otherwise should be reading README.Debian).  I
   realize that you just inherited this from the previous maintainer, and
   I'm not sure if Marc would agree with me.  :)

 * The make clean target has:

       -$(MAKE) realclean

   As previously mentioned, I think:

       ifeq (Makefile,$(wildcard Makefile))
               $(MAKE) realclean
       endif

   is cleaner and more reliable.
