yeah; thanks a lot for stepping up to take it!

I've had a look at the changes; thanks for moving to latest packaging
standards (3.0 (quilt), git-bp, pycompat and such) and thanks for
adding the history of uploads by importing the .dsc files.
I checked your new changes, and most seem good, concerning:
4fe1e976fd8b49ff2511f7170a13d5ff6de6d2ac
update-rc.d is automagically called by dh_installinit
IIRC, the byte-compilation was happening by some stanza inserted in
#DEBHELPER# back then, and it was good to restart flumotion after the
byte-compilation had taken place. Otherwise, dh_installinit might
insert the restart snippet before or after byte-compilation, but not
consistenly restart flumotion after byte-compilation. Nowadays, I'm
not sure how to ensure that the daemon is started with the .py files
already byte-compiled.
The other packaging changes also relate to packaging style, and made
sense in my reading, but I didn't check every single change against the
CDBS documentation or such.

Nope; I wont complain :-)
Thanks!
