We have worked hard to fix even more bugs and improve the overall stability and usability of the framework and the user interface. A list of fixes, implemented features and so on can be found here: http://www.openwalnut.org/versions/2.

1. ideally debian/changelog entry should be more reflective of changes done
to debian/control -- all those dh compatibility jump from 8 to 9, qt 4
to 5, dropping libbiosig dependency, etc.

2. Also now there would be no automated upgrade path for users who
installed openwalnut-qt4 and now which would need to upgrade to
openwalnut-qt5.  I believe I did express originally my opinion that
-qt4 suffix would give us some pain in the future... could you remind me
why do you want really to specify explicitly the -qt4/5, and not just
have a   openwalnut  package (which now would Replace and Conflict with
openwalnut-qt4/5)?

3. I have originally missed but lintian doesn't slip! ;)
why do you ship 
./resources/platformDependent/qt5gui/windows/openwalnut.exe
in the source package?  please strip it off

4. libeep -- ideally should get packaged separately (but I guess ok to
include for now...)

NB damn... and then I saw that our RAID failed and I had to attend to it
and Drafted this letter... I will finish review later but
meanwhile please address above
