Well, fair enough; I suppose the README.Debian note should not be quite
as explicit as I made it. I'm just not very happy with the gratuitous
(in my view) change to the upstream tarball, so I wanted to be as clear
about it as I could for anyone else wondering why it didn't match the
released tarball. If it were up to me, I wouldn't be making this change
at all, but it seems the alternative is to release lenny without
quodlibet, which is not very satisfactory either.
I've prepared a new version with this change here:

It's a python package, and sponsorship requests for Python packages are
often sent to this list.
