* Between 0.6.6 and 0.6.8 there has been many changes made upstream to
the files under debian/.  Have you given consideration to those
changes?

* Removed debian/05aptitude, yet this is still mentioned in
debian/changelog.  Why removed?

* Dropped debian/patches/11_ubuntu_uses_sudo -- ok, this has been
merged upstream.

* Dropped debian/patches/12_point_manpage_to_doc_package -- ok, also
merged upstream.

* debian/patches/14_html2text_preferred:

  - file paths have version number hardcoded:

  - upstream introduced $encoding in html-to-text which is not used by
your updates to this patch.  Is it ok that your patched version
ignores it and forces encoding to ASCII?

* debian/patches/no-google-mock:

  - File paths also now have version hardcoded.
  - Diff is very large, are the changes reliable?
