Thank you! And thank you for all of your feedback. The latest upload is
available at mentors.debian.net:
https://mentors.debian.net/package/iwatch
After this upload, I will work to find another sponsor. In preparation
for this upload, I reread the Debian Policy Manual chapters 1 through 7
to make sure I didn't miss anything obvious.

Revised to the "unstable" distribution.

I made a mistake while repackaging the .orig.tar.gz tarball. I did not
put the files under an iwatch-0.2.2/ subdirectory.
Furthermore, there was no need for me to include the original source
tarball in the upload to mentors.debian.net because, like you pointed
out, it already exists in the Debian pool. This time, I chose NOT to
include the orig tarball.

I have added these details to my changelog entry. I also documented my
minor changes to Depends and the maintainer scripts.
One question for you: I assumed that you were the owner of
git://git.grml.org/iwatch.git and would no longer be maintaining the
sources there, so I chose to use Cahya Wirawan's upstream at
https://svn.code.sf.net/p/iwatch/code/trunk/. Does this sound like a
reasonable change?
