Hi Petter,

Thank you for your work on bitcoin package.

Just like yourself I wanted to have bitcoin-qt package so after some struggle 
with CDBS I forked official package and introduced GUI using debhelper only.
Later I tried to share my improvements with Jonas but other priorities took 
over and we've made little progress due to lack of time on both sides.

I've seen your recent changes but in the above repository you may find few 
nice improvements like

  * build-time GUI translations refresh.
  * post-build tests.
  * hardening workaround for qmake.
  * workaround for FTBFS on GNU Hurd.
  * misc. lintianisations.

I'm lacking skills and time necessary to translate those changes to CDBS so 
I'll be very happy if you'll be able to borrow anything from my packaging.

Regards,
Dmitry.
