Agreed.

Besides the removal of the bin directory and the explanation added to
README.Debian, I think the package is ready to go.

Michael might also include a script with a regression test in the
package, something like: 

#!/bin/sh

prog=/usr/bin/psignifit
exdir=/usr/share/doc/psignifit/examples

if test -x $prog ; then
	$prog $exdir/dat $exdir/prefs
else
	echo 1>&2 "$prog not found"
	exit 1
fi
