I would prefer not to be in the Uploaders field of the package. That
field should contain the list of people doing the usual maintenance
work, and I will obviously not do it for octave-ltlfat. I am however
willing to fix RC bugs or handle transitions involving this package, but
I don't need to be in the Uploaders field, I can do "Team uploads" since
the package is maintained by the DOG.
Ideally I think you should be in the Uploaders field, what do you think?
I will also probably remove myself from other DOG packages which I don't
specifically care about. Again, that won't prevent me from uploading
these packages from time to time, for RC bugs or during transitions. But
this is another story.

That sounds like a good idea, and could also be used by matlab2tizk.
Ideally the use of xvfb-run should be optional. Maybe that could be
triggered using some Makefile variable?
