this looks nicer from a license POV, at least!

* debian/changelog:
  + what happened to version -1 ?
* debian/control:
  + (Build-)Depends are not sorted, please sort them (wrap-and-sort(1)
    and cme(1) may help here)
  + outdated Standards-Version
  + very very short extended descript, please make it longer
* DESCRIPTIONS:
  + the Copyright field points to non-existant files, that may actually
    be interesting to read, where are they? (I see one is excluded in
    d/copyright, why?)
* inst/doc/pbdZMQ-guide.pdf
  + PDFs are tricky [1], and should be stripped out of the tarball and
    built at build time, it surely looks feasible, may you do it?
* debian/tests:
  + I wonder if an autodep8 thing for R would make sense, after having
    seen 3 quasi-identical tests for 3 different R packages
