Hmm, it still works for me, are you sure?

The wiki is open to editing by anyone, you just need to register an account.

Anyway, fixed.

Not a huge issue, especially for this package.

ftpmasters have a policy of requiring the preferred form for
modification be available and that it be possible to build results
from it on Debian (not necessarily that they be built at build time).
They may or may not notice this issue though.

That is a quite ugly fix that may or may not actually fix the issue. I
would suggest that command be an array constructed in the usual way
for ruby and passed to popen, instead of just constructing a string
and then splitting it based on a regex.

Perhaps they would be willing to include a ChangeLog generated from
the git log or a NEWS file.

Probably best to avoid that indeed, for various reasons.
