Just done some reviewing/tweaking. I've pushed the following changes to the git repo, please tell me if you have any objections.
I added a gpb.conf to make git-buildpackage actually use pristine tar and hence result in an orig tarball that was consistent with what is already in Ubuntu. I found the clean target was not cleaning up the "egg-info" so I added a command to do that. I added a closes: entry for the ITP bug. --- That leaves one issue that I think still needs to be sorted before I sponsor the package. The file "copyrights" has no license header and the git history says it was copied but not where from. Poking around I discovered a script of the same name in gpiozero, containing what appears to be the same code and committed by you with a commit message of "create copyright header", so I presume this script is entirely your work, assuming it is I would suggest adding a copyright header upstream and then picking the commit up as a Debian patch until there is another upstream release. Finally would you consider adding me as a co-maintainer.
