Hi Simon,

That makes sense, simpler is better. I've uploaded another version to mentors.
Let me know if you need anything else!
Looks good to me! Some Lintian flags for next time:

N:
N: The named field for an installation package in debian/control has the same
N: value as the one inherited from the source paragraph.
N:
N: In the interest of shorter and clearer files, you may wish to take
N: advantage of the inheritance rules. This field is redundant.

N:
N: Although the package includes a shared library, the package does not have
N: a symbols control file.
N:
N: dpkg can use symbols files in order to generate more accurate library
N: dependencies for applications, based on the symbols from the library that
N: are actually used by the application.

I: libjanet1.42: unused-override hardening-no-fortify-functions
[usr/share/lintian/overrides/libjanet1.42:1]
N:
N: Your package specifies the named override but there were no tags that
N: could have been silenced by it.
N:
N: Maybe you fixed an underlying condition but forgot to remove the override.
N: It is also possible that the Lintian maintainers fixed a false positive.
N:
N: If the override is now unused, please remove it.
N:
N: This tag is similar to mismatched-override except there a tag could have
N: been silenced if the context had matched.
N:
N: Sometimes, overrides end up not being used because a tag appears only on
N: some architectures. In that case, overrides can be equipped with an
N: architecture qualifier.
N:
N: Please refer to Architecture specific overrides (Section 2.4.3) in the
N: Lintian User's Manual for details.

X: janet source: debian-watch-does-not-check-openpgp-signature [debian/watch]
N:
N: This watch file does not specify a means to verify the upstream tarball
N: using a cryptographic signature.
N:
N: If upstream distributions provides such signatures, please use the
N: pgpsigurlmangle options in this watch file's opts= to generate the URL of
N: an upstream OpenPGP signature. This signature is automatically downloaded
N: and verified against a keyring stored in debian/upstream/signing-key.asc
N:
N: Of course, not all upstreams provide such signatures but you could request
N: them as a way of verifying that no third party has modified the code after
N: its release (projects such as phpmyadmin, unrealircd, and proftpd have
N: suffered from this kind of attack).
N:
N: Please refer to the uscan(1) manual page for details.
