Thank you a lot. Contributing to Debian is one of the wishes I hope.

It sounds that frequently updating the package is OK if we don't break them.

I forwarded to gcin upstream, but their concern is that building a
debian package may leave `debian` directory not cleaned. (They wrote a
shell script which copies `debian-pkg` directory to `debian` and calls
use dpkg-buildpackage -b to build their package, but I don't know if
there is a better way to do.)
