I've provided a source branch for that (all files generated by "debuild
-S").

See: https://github.com/sriemer/scanmem-debian/tree/source
See:
https://github.com/sriemer/scanmem-debian/blob/source/scanmem_0.16-1.dsc

The packages locally built with sbuild for testing-amd64 can be found
here: https://github.com/sriemer/scanmem-debian/tree/testing-amd64

Thanks for clarification. So 2017-02-05 is the deadline. I'd still
prefer having some time for bugfixing in case something is found by
review/testing. Testing version 0.13 doesn't make any sense IMHO as it
is unsupported by upstream by now (too many bugs, too old, too slow).
This is why all other distros already picked up more recent versions.

Cheers,
Sebastian
