I uploaded a new package to Mentors (also updated the source tarball).
I think I fixed all issues/suggestions.

Thank you! Don't know how I failed that.

I changed to source code of the simulator. Now, if the "./doc" folder doesn't exist, it opens the folder where "make install" installs the manuals to (if it exists).
So, debian/links and the patch were removed, and this issue is solved. (Should have done this earlier)

That's interesting. I compiled the package in Ubuntu, and the upstream changelog was not detected automatically.
