Hi Jonathan,

first of all a HUGE sorry for not mailing you about ctpl before. Yes, I
still want to upload it, and I think we can manage it in a breeze. :)

Your symbols update looks good (as far as I can tell).
Lintian told me (with --pedantic), that the packages did not have an
upstream changelog and looking at the upstream tarball it seems the
changelog is in "NEWS" for upstream, thus I added the following to
debian/rules:
override_dh_installchangelogs:
	dh_installchangelogs NEWS

packaging-wise this is the only change I'd do before uploading, so you
did a really good job here!

I'd like to "discuss" some orga stuff before uploading though.
ctpl is currently only needed for geany-plugins (in which you are
interested IIRC). Thus I'd like to suggest you join pkg-geany on Alioth
[1], we put your package into Git there and maintain with three pairs of
eyes for two distributions from there. Oh, and I promise to upload fast
from now on :)
