Sorry, my bad. I've changed it to optional.

Thanks for that advise. I dind't change that because my lintian was
complaining, but surely in a near future it won't. Fixed.

I didn't know that either. I thought it was for any VCS. Fixed.

I've modified the upstream tarball in order to save space, and to avoid
writing all copyright information in d/copyright. Anyway, following your

Thanks for all the advises, Jacub.
