oh i see.

That would probably be better.

In any case, we really need to make upstream aware of the issue and hope
that they release a new tarball with these issues fixed soon. It seems
that we even have IOhannes in our team :-)

IOhannes, could you do a quick wiimote-0.3.2.tar.gz tarball with the new
makefile and the COPYING file included?

no, that would be pretty confusing. I'd rather do these changes in the
'upstream' branch branch, and have a wiimote-0.3.1.dfsg1.orig.tar.gz
created or something.
