Thanks, much appreciated!  btw, I'm just working on 3.0.3-1.

Wrap and sort has a deterministic result.  We could add it to
debian/scripts/import, so that even misplaced entries get sorted quite
soon, and then stay in their place forever.

It helps to see the logic being named.  However in my packaging work on
Wine I've really seen these reorganization changes so often (in d/rules
and other files like .install) and had to spend a lot of time in
comparing files, that I'd prefer a deterministic sorting to a rough
organization which changes over time.
