Ah, luckily 1.11 is better on that respect :)

My remarks:

README.Source should give the URL for the git repo.  A quick search on
enlightenment.org did not allow me to find it (!), so I was not been
able to verify the source.

Also, since this release does not come out of
download.enlightenment.org, the Source: field is probably not adequate.

debian/patches/cython-version-comparison.patch would benefit from a
short explanation about why this patch is needed (I assume it is
because of the cython snapshot packaging).

I assume jessie will ship with 1.8, given the that new transitions
cannot happen any more.
