Actually lineakd diverts evtest and its manpage, so I can ship them in
joystick without conflicting.

In the end I've uploaded version -4 with 0, 1 and 2 fixed as well as Ben's
updated short description.

The changelog is:
  * Update short description as suggested by Ben Finney.
  * Set priority to extra to match the override file, as suggested by Joe
    Nahmias.
  * Use debhelper 7, as hinted by Joe Nahmias and the debhelper
    documentation.
  * Remove versioned dependency on cdbs since even oldstable has a new
    enough version.
  * Ship evtest and associated manpage; lineakd diverts them so this package
    need not conflict with lineakd, but it does need to conflict with
    dvb-utils (which will not ship with Lenny). Closes: #475049
