done.
(gdb)
this seems to be working correctly to me :)

"bug-freeness" is something you will never have :)
it is good, and it works correctly, this is enough for me.
(and you seem to have no packaging bugs, let's wait for unstable/testing to have some people feedbacks)

None, the package was built,signed and uploaded while I was answering that mail :)
>Many thanks again for your mentoring,
thanks to you for the good package and your nice contribution to Debian!
I see you did a really good job, and the package was already in a good shape, my suggestions were mostly cosmetic.
I have one more suggestion: please consider having an package.install file instead of overriding dh_auto_install, the same for
the dh_installdocs
(the respective manpages can help you).
I guess this will simplify the packaging, but it is a matter of "de gustibus".
I hope to see your contributions again, I enjoyed your packaging, I hope to see you as Maintainer or Developer one day :)
(let me know if you want to work on some packages, I can review them also privately or through the list)
cheers!
Gianfranco
