While I'm a fan of non-native packages, I'm not sure that such a small
diff.gz is truly ideal.  Might be better to pull at least all of debian/
outside.  This is especially the case when at least two of the patches
included in the diff.gz appear to belong upstream (README, mic_cfg.py).

I'd like to hear from another member of ~ubuntu-mobile to confirm this
technique of splitting the package.  I'm especially worried because of
removed entries from the changelog.  This is typically only done when a
package is synchronised to an external repository: for a merge
(resulting in Ubuntu versioning), keeping the outstanding changelog
entries is preferred.

With regards to the specific packaging, the Maintainer is changed from
Ubuntu Mobile Developers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to John L.
Villalovos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.  Given the Ubuntu-specific
modifications, the package ought have an Ubuntu maintainer, for which
the group is quite suitable.  Further, as this group is listed as the
maintainer, it would make more sense to seek sponsorship from within
that group, or have a comment from another member of the team indicating
that it is appropriate for MOTU to override and push the package.
