just rerun it -- it should be smart about those iirc

not really... contributions ARE VERY VERY VERY WELCOME!  pretty much
providing sane(r) --help would be already of great help.  look under

https://github.com/neurodebian/neurodebian/tree/master/tools

so yeah -- if we were to publish in frontiers now, we might have not
passed the review, like the ACQ4 did!!! good job! ;)

BTW -- have anyone looked/used http://docopt.org/ ? -- looks very
interesting for quick cmdline interfaces, but docopts for bash seems to be not
in debian... oh well

brrr ;-)  why not just debian/ directory?  your setup would
complicate contributions from debian folks etc... you would need to provide
us the generated source package anyways.  I would recommend just
carrying debian/ and using git-buildpackage

back to cows:
btw -- in generated debian/control dh-python is missing from build-depends
and as I said those debian/*install  should not be needed in this case iirc.

so here is a PR
https://github.com/lcampagn/pyqtgraph/pull/4

and this one builds fine besides on wheezy runs into python2.6 issue:

removing '/tmp/buildd/python-pyqtgraph-0.9.8/.pybuild/pythonX.Y_2.7/build' (and everything under it)
'build/bdist.linux-x86_64' does not exist -- can't clean it
'build/scripts-2.7' does not exist -- can't clean it
