Thanks, that was quick.

I'm not sure on Maintainer policy either, best I can tell is that Ubuntu tends to use Ubuntu Developers for ubuntu-only packages. The reason for this is that Ubuntu packages don't have strong maintainers, but are maintained by all Ubuntu developers. However, there is no policy I know of stipulating this, so I'm happy with it as is.

> what is DEP5? And how should it be updated?

DEP5 is the machine-readable changelog format. http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/
A few of the fields have changed name, and there should only be one (multi-line) copyright item.

> Could you please be more specific where dh_python2 should be used?

dh_python2 is a replacement for python-support and python-central. Instead of creating per-python-version symlink farms at install time, they are shipped in the package, and only byte-compilation is done at install time. Unfortunately there is little documentation on it that I can point you to (yet).

CDBS only gained support in 0.4.90 (which isn't in Ubuntu yet), so the best way to use it is probably to switch to debhelper.

Here's a trivial port, which is untested, but looks ok: http://paste.ubuntu.com/551612/

Wrapping like this

  bulleted point.

Oh, and lintian says "Splitted" isn't an english word. It's right about that :)
