Yes, they are applied to the current files in git

which is pretty different, Fixing the hardening problem, there are
still 17 lintian messages yet, what it's not aceptable.

Maybe, I've run it on sid using the current debianization available in
git  , http://anonscm.debian.org/git/git/pkg-gambas/ ,
git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/pkg-gambas/gambas3.git

I saw it, but I haven't done it yet, I'll try to fix the master
branch. If not possible, we could use newmaster. Anyway these git
problems should not avoid us of uploading the packages, as we can
always use dpkg-buildpackage instead of git-buildpackage to compile
them.

I'll try to use small chunks of free time next week in order to fix as
many things as possible, but at the end of the week I'll upload the
packages to the archive even if they are not totally in good shape. I
think we must focus in putting the latest version of gambas3 in Debian
before its freeze. Later we can fix the remaining issues. If you can
help with the fixes, using patches, or in the newmaster branch, it
would be great.

Regards.
