Well, the xbs is from 2008-12-23, with ancient policy 3.2.1.0, so I
considered and upgrade a good thing. You'll notice that those are not
major changes.

The debhelper was necessary because the package didn't build correctly
(Lintian) againt the new policy. The changes needed in "binary-arch:"
were:

+       dh_installdeb
+       dh_shlibdeps
+       dh_gencontrol
+       dh_md5sums
+       dh_builddeb

Thanks,
Jari
