Hello Alessandro

Thanks for your feedback. I have fixed the issues you reported (remove
README.Debian, DEP5-compliance, depends-fields formatting). For the last
point (make changes upstream), I would like to know what changes you
think could make it upstream since I did that already. And the debian/
directory is not in upstream since I moved to git-buildpackage for
0.45-1.

The updated 0.45-2 is available at 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/advene
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/advene/advene_0.45-2.dsc
and the git-buildpackage tree is at
http://advene.org/debian/advene.git

Cheers,
Olivier
