Hi segler,

First off, thank you for your work on this patch but it is unacceptable for sponsorship into the archive. It has large invasive changes that are not justified (changing the build system and deleting most of the changelog). As such, I'm removing this patch from the sponsorship queue.

As a guide, the Ubuntu Packaging Guide is available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete, and it contains good information on how to create and update new packages.

As for some handy tips, typing 'dch -i' in the base of the source directory will create a new changelog entry. It shouldn't be necessary to fiddle too much with debian/rules if the package has not changed much.
