Thank you!

Done.

Done, mostly. I decided to keep the README since it does contain some
non-redundant info, it seems weird not to have one even if it's short, and lots
of other packages have short READMEs that one could argue are redundant - see
/usr/share/doc/*/README. I hope this is OK. I've also used the --link-doc
option of dh_installdocs to link libcurlpp-dev's docs to libcurlpp0 to avoid
repetition.

DEP-3 http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep3/ says in regards to Forwarded:
"If the field is missing, its implicit value is "yes" if the "Bug" field is
present, otherwise it's "no". The field is really required only if the patch is
vendor specific, in that case its value should be "not-needed" to indicate that
the patch must not be forwarded upstream (whereas "no" simply means that it has
not yet been done).
for fix-include-config, the field is "not-needed" since it is vendor-specific
(the patch breaks the install for windows users), and for
include-dynamic-headers we can omit the field because the Bug field is already
present.

Done - I've gone and updated debian/copyright to the DEP-5 format too.
