Hi,

Thanks Kilian for your feedback which helped me to improve the package. 
I've updated and uploaded it again to the mentors site. The package 
appears to be lintian clean.

I had chosen that version to make lintian (stable version) happy.

OK. Changed to 3.9.2 (and updated lintian on my box to the latest version).

I already use git on sf.net for upstream. May be the best approach is to 
adopt the scheme described here [1]. Isn't it?

Finally I've decided to adopt the newer debian/rules format (shorter) 
and I've added the "--with autotools_dev" option.

Not a problem any more with the new debian/rules format.
