Thanks!

You didn't :)  I was wrong.

Great work with the package split, and rewriting the package
description.  Some minor remaining issues:

(1) There are some typos in NEWS.Debian.  s/dems/demos/ s/und/and/

(2) You added "[ Team Upload ]" to the changelog.  But this is not a
team upload, because you are in the Maintainer: field.  Please remove
the "[ Team Upload ]".

(3) You indicated in d/copyright that Mike Gabriel has 2017 copyright.
But he didn't make any changes this year.

(4) In the changelog you wrote

    debian/rules: Remove the documentation from /usr/share/xtrkcad.

But it wasn't d/rules that you edited to do this!  I think you just need
to drop that line.

(5) Since you moved the docs, the Help->Contents menu option doesn't
work.  I think you need to add a patch (Forwarded: not-needed).

Some optional suggestions:

(1) You wrote "Remove not used Build-Depends." -- it might be useful to
list the ones you removed in the changelog.  Your choice.

(2) The HTML docs are quite large.  How about moving them into -common?

As before, once you've made further changes, please remove the moreinfo
tag from this bug and don't forget to re-run `dch -r`.

Thanks for doing that.  Looks fine now.

Ah.  Generally the file modification time is too flimsy for this
purpose.  Thanks for changing it back.

Yes, it should be normal to forward it, but not all sponsees do it.

Just fyi, the git commit style is your choice as maintainer.  All I care
about is the changelog (which can be less detailed than git commit
history, generally).
