Hi Andreas,

The reason is I never invested enough time to understand how to do that
(or even how to properly package under git). I haven't pushed my changes
to github yet.

Note that at the moment the package is not under the debian science
packaging team umbrella. And this is also mostly because I was unsure
how to proceed.

I would be willing to go in that direction in the future, of course.

Regards, Thibaut.
