Hi,

I've just uploaded an updated version of wmanager to the same location:

And the four changes since that update:

  * Add the debian/upstream/metadata file.
  * Add Multi-Arch: foreign to the binary package.
  * Drop the source compression options; dpkg-dev's defaults are good enough.
  * Add --parallel to the debhelper invocation.

And I'd be even more grateful if this package could be uploaded in time
for the Jessie freeze :)

G'luck,
Peter
