Hi,
FYI, Debian apparently does not accept new packages that bundle
gnulib, asking to rebootstrap with their packaged copy instead.
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=gnulib
Just to know, what do you think about it? Afaics the Debian 'gnulib'
package is refreshed monthly with a git checkout dated "this month's
1st day at 00:00". Since gnulib is a 'no release' project I'm not sure
about it. Usually I perform some testing of my copy of gnulib and I
refresh it only after a release. At the same time it makes it easier
(though not automatic, since it's a build-time dependency) to update
all Debian packages using gnulib should there be a security fix.
Cheers,

PS: in the following, by 'gnutools' Kalle meant 'gnulib', and by
'fredink-data' he meant 'freedink'.

Dear Maintainer,
rejected because gnutools, which you have included in your package,
is already in Debian. Having convinience copies of existing code
is bad.
Also, you're missing autotools/install.sh copyright statement in
debian/copyright.
