I shall be happy to upload for you but few corrections are to be made first:
* changelog: let's upload to "unstable" instead of "experimental".
* changelog: please replace "Closes: bug#768772" with "Closes: #768772" (I'm
not too sure if "bug#768772" works but as far as I can tell this notation is
unusual.
* control: Vcs links do not work. I'd very much like if you could consider
converting repository to Git.
* rules: Ben, please move your copyright attribution to "debian/copyright".
The latter should mention licensing for debian packaging.
* rules: optional targets "get-(packaged-)orig-source" are redundant and
merely invoke `uscan`. Since those targets don't do anything useful on top of
what `uscan` does I recommend to remove those targets. I'm guessing they were
introduced to memorise uscan parameters?
* New upstream release: let's package it please. There are only 10 different
files comparing to currently packaged version so there should not be much of
an effort to update the packaging.
Thanks.
