Please note that I dropped authors (or more accurately: copyright 
holders) not mentioned anywhere else as such.

If e.g. IOhannes m. zmoelnig is mentioned due to Debian packaging, I 
suggest to add a copyright (and licensing! they always go together) 
statement in ebian/rules, and keep debian/copyright as a reference file 
rather than containing unique info on its own.

NB! This is a kind suggestion only.  It is not mandated by Debian Policy 
AFAIK.  But it really helps for things like semi-automated copyright 
checking if separated like that.

Above two must be fixed!

I did not update changelog, as I am uncertain if current entry was 
already released or not.
