I checked the delta between your 0.0.8-2 and 0.0.8-3 diffs; the "pre-build:: update-config" is useless, as I said cdbs will update config.guess and config.sub automatically by default.
The copyright file is now good (even better than before), but the control file is lacking build-deps. I'd prefer that you import stuff in SVN so that I can comment on a version everybody agrees upon as the reference version. :) -- Loïc Minier
