Awesome, taking over orphaned packages is really welcome.


I find this changelog a bit too verbose for my tastes: "new maintainer"
implies updating the control file, "repacking sources" implies marking the
orig version as repacked and usually also documenting changes done.


I'd say you remove too much:

# In the sources, there are unnecessary files in the /tools directory
# (windows .exe files for exemple). Removed this directory, /windows
# directory and mac_deploy.sh and repacking sources withe this script:

Removing Windows .exe files is ok -- jhead and jpegtran are both free
software and can be produced with tools in the archive but that's still
bloat; and Mac versions of the same have no appropriate toolchain.
But, mac_deploy.sh and windows/installer.nsi would be nice to keep.
While not of use on Debian itself, having these helps the broader community
-- upstreams come and go, and it's not unknown for the Debian archive to
become the only remaining copy of a piece of software.  And we even ship
both a fully-capable Windows toolchain and nsis, so it's possible to build
Windows binaries of such software entirely on Debian.


Uploaded.


Meow!
