Hi, thanks for the feedback. I've missed the email on the mailbox, hence the delay to answer.

I've never seen this before so it was strange to me too. It seems that the manpage is compressed as 'gz' file and cannot be diff'ed for dpkg-source to build successfuly. Therefore it has to be put in the debian directory and declared in the included-binaries file to build properly. Found this explanation on the dpkg-source manpage. But I don't think it's a problem to leave one small typo in the manpage. > Thanks for your contribution, I would be happy to sponsor more packages from > you. Thanks, I'm happy to hear it.
