Still on my todo list, yes.

Hrm, is it on purpose that this git repo only contains the debian
directory? Doing so was common back in the Subversion days, but
nowadays, I'd expect the unpacked upstream tar ball in there, too.
Anyway, that's no blocker, just unexpected.

I nevertheless just had a look at this git repo and it seems to miss
one file which were in your earlier packages (0.9.0-1 and 0.10.1-2).
Namely the debian/source/ directory with its sole file
debian/source/format is missing. Lintian also argues about it:

  I: qutebrowser source: missing-debian-source-format

Please re-add that directory.

Additionally please take a look at

  I: qutebrowser source: missing-debian-source-format

Upstream now provides GPG signatures so we should verify them.

Further, it's no more necessary to list the full text of the MPL
1.1 since Debian Policy 4.0.0 as the license text of the MPL 1.1 is
now available under /usr/share/common-licenses/MPL-1.1. Please just
refer to that file. (Yes, I know, I very likely argued about adding
MPL-1.1 to debian/copyright in an earlier review — but the inclusion
of the MPL happened only very recently. :-)

Not immediately necessary, but should happen sooner or later: Debian
Policy 4.1.0 is out. It also explicitly recommends adding support for
verifying upstream PGP signatures.

And JFTR: I just uploaded the pypeg2 package (c.f.
https://bugs.debian.org/832937) so soon all runtime dependencies of
qutebrowser should be available in Debian unstable.
