Hi Lucas, thanks for the thorough review. I'm a bit embarrassed how many
things you found to fix. See below.

I won't anymore.. since I can look in the git repository to see if there
is already work being done.
I've made some fixes but alioth is down right now so can't push them up.
So all of the things marked "Done" will be pushed when alioth returns.

I left this there because minitest will be added here as soon as it is
bootstrapped by having ruby-hoe available. Should we move these to
README.source, to be removed when the tests are re-enabled?

Is that because we don't like the pdf, or because this is considered
bad form to put urls in the description? Its a very useful document,
even if we can't rebuild it ourselves, and it meets the spirit of the
guideline that the long description should help users decide whether or
not to install the package.

Oops, done.

All done.

This is something I'd think we might want to consider for
the git repository... dch --release and debcommit --release
go hand in hand quite nicely and it helps to defer tagging
until the actual upload.
That said, done.

Added a comparison to Hoe.

Good Question. I originally set out to patch it out, but now I see thats
a bit silly. Removed the patch.

Done.
