nsjail is next!

Regarding the sponsorship request, I'm not sure if I made this clear in the first message, but this package is useful because it unblocks packaging for nsjail which I intend to package next. Nsjail is an extremely useful process isolation tool that is currently not available in Debian. You can use nsjail to limit the system calls available to a program, which reduces the surface area of system calls available to attackers or those who would exploit vulnerabilities in a program in an attempt to make system calls that should not be available.

Appreciate the reviews so far. I have corrected v1 and it passes all lintian checks, including pedantic ones as far as I can tell.

The updated package is available here:
  https://mentors.debian.net/package/kafel

Let me know if I can do anything else to get this package in shape.

Best regards,  
Stephen

as long as the package is only uploaded to mentors, you can reuse the same
version. Only once the package is uploaded to the archive, you have to
increment the revision for any new upload.
