I just built it and it looks fine to me. I think I once addresses packaging it
myself some years back and am glad to see it packaged by you now.
I'll wait for tonight some deeper scrutiny from my side and for further
comments from other sides and before I then eventually upload it. What you
might want to consider is to put Anton Enright's work in a separate package -
it would also need a separate citation when using it, if I recall correctly.
Also, I personally am a fan of a README.Debian. You do not offer one, but
maybe a very simple welcome note and possibly a reference to other packages
in Debian that would help in using the package or a pointer to a piece of
documentation that one should start with would come easy off your fingers.
Cheers,
Steffen
