Hi,

thanks for the feedback. I've missed the email on the mailbox, hence the
delay to answer.

Nice.

I’m not sure how well the `include-binaries` feature you used works, but I’ve never used it before, and dgit (which I use to upload packages) refused to allow me to proceed, so I reverted to the changed manpage residing in debian/.

I've never seen this before so it was strange to me too. It seems that the
manpage is compressed as 'gz' file and cannot be diff'ed for dpkg-source to
build successfuly. Therefore it has to be put in the debian directory and
declared in the included-binaries file to build properly. Found this explanation
on the dpkg-source manpage.

But I don't think it's a problem to leave one small typo in the manpage.

Thanks, I'm happy to hear it.
