I can't say that I use gip on a daily basis, but I used it a couple of
times. So I decided to take a look at the source package, and I ended
up ITA-ing it.

I have updated the debian/rules. I would be glad to have your feedback on this.

I have uploaded a new version on gip on m.d.n [1].

Thank you in advance,
