So, I think we should wait on fixing these issues until we see the
release team's call on the wheezy-ignoredness of them.

But in the meantime, I did a quick review.  The link fiddling stuff in
the rules file could be much simplified by using a debian/links file
instead (and removing glyplist.txt from debian/docs).

Please don't remove the original maintainers name from the
README.debian.  Put your note below his, and you don't really need to
state the same thing in the copyright file since the offending file is
now gone.

Best wishes,
Mike
