The non-loop variant you have now is actually preferable over loop,
provided things actually work. Did you try if "make install" (or
pg_buildext install) puts things in the right location? If so, you
could get rid of debian/*.{install,docs,dirs}.
(For the docs, a nice workaround is to use
override_dh_installdocs:
dh_installdocs --all README.q3c
As many pieces of software are not VPATH-ready, it may well be that
using "pg_buildext loop" will make it easier to get everything
working, though... (I should finally document that mode in the
manpage.)

It doesn't really matter where it is hosted or who is in the
Maintainer field - I can sponsor it, which doesn't mean the science
people couldn't be taking care of future versions.
