yeah, it doesn't change the outcome, but it's 1) one line less in
d/rules and 2) more correct.

Indeed, I'll probably double check this particular bit another day.

Given that now librep16 is multiarch-able, you should add a
'Multi-Arch: same' field in d/control for it.

I tried to do this, you can find attached a patch that seems to do this
transition correctly.

yes it does.  So, can you explain why you did that?


Something more:

* d/copyright:
  + there are 3 spurious line on top, not adhering to DEP-5, also they
    are redundant.  Please move Mikolaj email address to the debian/*
    stanza and remove the lines
  + umh, is the Upstream-Name really 'sawfish'?  Isn't it 'rep'?
* d/control:
  + vcs-field-not-canonical — please fix it
* is there a way to fix debian-rules-ignores-make-clean-error ?
