v-1 is already published in a PPA. Admittedly, it probably has fairly
few users, but still probably best not to duplicate versions. However, I
haven't uploaded 2.15.1 there so the issue shouldn't actually arise.

Indeed. The only changes upstream are a higher version dependency on
node-nan, which I have reflected in d/control.

I've added a dh_installchangelogs entry to d/rules in git.

Noted. The changelog fix should be in git master, which I think is
everything unless you've spotted something else.
