Package: egctl
Version: 1.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

while I can confirm the egctl program works with my EG-PM2-LAN using
protocol pmg21, a look into your package made me raise my eyebrows
several times.

* The upstream tarball

This is none of the relase files available at
<https://github.com/unterwulf/egctl/releases>, not even by the content.

It contains a compiled binary program.

It contains a .git/ directory, obviously the entire upstream git at the
lastest commit 306e944. Shipping .git/ also annoys all those who wish
to maintain a local version using git themselves. Me, for a start.

So no surprise it's pretty huge: 116916 bytes, compared to 6701 of
upstream's v0.1.tar.gz, re-compressing using xz shrinks it down to 6340.

* The version number

Upstream's tag is "v0.1", so is the name of the release tarball. You
however uploaded it as 1.0.

Please clean this up, also some more things lintian reports when
called with "--display-info --pedantic"

Cheers,

    Christoph
