Hi Dima,
thanks for your patience - Alioth is up and running now again.

I checked this out and have noticed in debian/README.source:
"The SIFT implementation was removed from the source ..."
That's OK, but if you change the upstream source you should either
provide
a) get-orig-source target in d/rules
b) specify Files-Excluded in d/copyright and use the enhanced
uscan described here:
https://wiki.debian.org/UscanEnhancements
I personally recommend the latter since it is more simple to implement
and from my personal point of view more transparent.

I added
Suggests: libvlfeat-dev
since we usually link to user applications in non-dev metapackages. It might
make sense to consider an imageanalysis-dev metapackage since the task now
is assembling several lib*-dev packages that way. What do you think?
Is there any chance to also create a vlfeat-{tools,utils} package with a
plain user application for demonstarting the library?
Feel free to add your package to the SoB Wiki page.
Kind regards
Andreas.
