hi Hiroshi,

the package seems to be in good shape overall. I did find two minor
issues though and some questions came up about the copyright file:

* docs: readme.md isn't useful as end-user documentation: the file
  only contains instructions on building from source (pointless after
  having already installed the binary package); please remove.

* lintian hit "hardening-no-fortify-functions [usr/bin/asmc]" is
  probably worth overriding, considering full hardening options are
  set in d/rules and this is likely a false positive.

* copyright: while the upstream sources do come with a copy of
  version 2 of the GPL, I cannot find an explicit copyright statement
  nor any mention of the copyright holder(s) anywhere in the sources.
  What is the basis for the info currently listed in d/copyright, in
  particular copyright holders, years, and the applicable version(s)
  of the GPL?

* copyright: the short name used to refer to the GPL in d/copyright
  is "GPL-2". This customarily means GPL-version-2-only, but the text
  in the License paragraph contradicts that by also permitting "any
  later version". If the license grant actually permits using the
  terms of any later version, a plus sign should be added to the end
  of the short name (e.g. "GPL-2+"); if not, the paragraph should be
  modified to match the meaning of the short name.


Please remove the moreinfo tag (and CC me) once you have an updated
package ready.
