Guillaume,

Thanks A LOT to take care of your own package, this is much appreciated,
as I lack time to work on it.

I had a look, and I could see in your debian/changelogs:

    + Bump debhelper compatibility to version 7 (+ debian/compat)
  * debian/rules: switch "dh_clean -k" to dh_prep

The RT has explicitly said that now isn't the time to do this kind of
change. Please revert and reupload to mentors.

Also, Adam talked about some things needed in a postinst to deal with
the doc folder if it's not there yet. Do you know what this is about? I
didn't have a look at the debian-release list, but I can't see any
postinst script in your package.

Good decision, IMHO.

I'll wait for your answer before doing any sponsored upload.
Thanks again for caring about this package,

Thomas
