Thanks for your work, Eriberto.

I just took a quick look at it:

* It would be good if changes would be available as stand-alone
  patches, and not have *all* changes (including debian/changelog)
  in one single large patch. There are quite some changes where
  I can see only "removed" or "updated" in the changelog but
  lacking any reasoning for the change (like for example why
  maintainer scripts got removed).
  Are Christophe Monniez and Hilko Bengen (who both are in the
  Uploaders field as well) involved in the Debian packaging changes?
  [I don't strictly require to have the patch split into separate
  changes now that all the work has been done already, so it's more
  of a general note for the future - but I'm also not really
  comfortable with uploading it as it is right now, ftr.]

* "Removed, after renamed, useless and empty binary libtsk10-dbg,
  because libtsk10 already is naturally 'stripped'." => I don't
  understand this one, you removed the dh_strip call, but why
  not just use "dh_strip -a -plibtsk10 --dbg-package=libtsk10-dbg"
  or so do provide useful dbg package?
