Me too. ;)

I know, it does not hold to Debian's standards, but this is something I
could work on if the package would have any chance to actually become an
official Debian package.

I have a cc65-doc package which includes the documentation in html and
GNU info format. See the debian.rules on the web page above how it is
generated.
The man pages could be generated with help2man, or they could point to
the GNU info files.

I use the git tag as version info. For example, the current version is
2.14.0.git.1430120390.0f1c3b0
This is not optimal, I know. On the other hand, Oliver promised me to
add something like a consecutive number if I really need it for
packaging purposes.
Or we could use something like proposed by jberger here:

$ git rev-list HEAD --count

Me too. If you want to package it yourself, it's ok for me. If you want
us to work together, it's ok, too. From my point of view, our
cooperation in the past for VICE has worked good.
