Thank you very much for the review!
This way I can learn how to build better Debian packages in the future.
I've scanned through the gitlog and will consider such changes in my
next packages.

Thanks for those hints as well.
After reading [0] I think it will be a long way before I'll upload my
first package, as I've to learn a lot of stuff first.

But for the short term I'm still happy to help you doing the packaging
work in the pkg-fso git repos and you can review and upload the packages.
