The upstream tarball contains a lot of generated files (Makefile, *.o, a
complete installation in debian/parcellite/, executable, ...).  Is
upstream aware that a "dist-gzip" ("dist-bzip2", "dist-xz") target
exists?

Having generated files makes the diff much larger so I did not review
the other changes so far.

Also upstream now has its own debian/ directory.  If they want to
distribute packages on their own, they should probably base their work
on your current package (which is much better than what upstream has
right now).
