Hi Antti,

Yes, this is something I tested prior to tell you, I do not remember
exactly, but d/install should already create the directory, so
d/dirs is not needed in that case.
(exporting DH_VERBOSE=1 in both cases and compare the build
logs might give you the hints about what is performed)

actually you can relicense, gpl-2+ means that you can change to gpl-3
or gpl-3+ without asking anybody.
different case would be the opposite, gpl-3 is more restrictive than 2,
so you can't change that unless you have permission from all the
previous copyright holders.
(note, please do not do such things and wouldn't sign a relicense of
debian/* to gpl-3 or gpl-3+, since gpl-2+ already contains all the
later versions giving a patch upstream will make that patch become
licensed under gpl-3+ automatically, it would be so unfair for other
Developers to relicense something with a more restrictive license)
>Corrected version is now available at mentors.d.n, the version

Yes, there is no need to specify that, I always grab from the same url,
so "updated" is enough (and since I recheck everything again it is fine).
Anyway, built&signed&uploaded while I was writing this mail, so
it should already be on its way for unstable :)
thanks again for your nice contribution to Debian!
cheers,
Gianfranco
