I doubt that backports of GNUstep packages are feasible (because of
the library transitions).  Backporting gnustep-make, in particular,
will make gnustep-dl2 FTBFS and some packages will end up shipping no
documentation.

Right, I have reworded it.

Removed (also extended the long description).

Done.

Done.

No.  As some other GNUstep packages, this one is based on a very old
and unmaintained upstream release.  There's a wishlist bug to update
it to the current upstream version.  I've made some progress on that
front but I'm unlikely to complete the porting work in time for
jessie.  I marked all patches as "Forwarded: not-needed".

Again, I'd kindly ask you for some more information.  "fakeroot
debian/rules clean" is supposed to fail if the build-dependencies are
not installed as GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES will be undefined in that case.
