:-)
Well, "fixed" is probably not the right word because it was never wrong.
I'm just suggesting this nice reformating because some standardisation helps
other team members.

Any way you see to spread the knowledge how to join is very welcome.

OK. As I said I would not insist on these changes - but it is better to
care even for those nitpicking lintian info.

Yep. I think it is better to have the package uploaded now. In case
you want to care about this later the link to the Wiki page in the
lintian warning provides most probably sufficient information.
The package is uploaded now. Thanks for your patient work on this.
