Hi Tobi,

Thank you for the review. I've just uploaded a revised version to
Debian Mentors.

Good point. I've dropped the Vcs-* fields, since there is no Salsa
packaging repository at the moment.

I checked the GitHub repository and it has the latest version 0.2.13.
Older versions are available from a different (non-GitHub) repository.

The new version now targets experimental.

I was able to build moc against librcc 0.2.13 without issue. According
to the control file, moc depends on librcc0 (>= 0.2.12).

I've updated the paths to use the variable format instead of an asterisk.

Yes, it's unlikely anyone is using it.
