Personally I didnt find myself reading README.Debian after package installation
very often. I read the package description much more regularly. Though I could
put a hint into the description that directs the user to README.Debian for
further instructions.

A very useful read! Thanks, I wasnt aware of the description format other than
lines with a full stop.
I also investigated your other remarks and submitted solutions to them
upstream. Some of them are already fixed. Your comments also made me remember
https://wiki.debian.org/HowToPackageForDebian as a very helpful first stop.

Ah, I didnt know that either, thanks! It seems that repacking the original
tarball is necessary nevertheless though because there is an osx directory
which contains some mac binaries. Upstream doesnt do the osx packaging and the
person who does didnt respond yet.
Thanks for your help!
cheers, josch
