Uploaded as delayed/7 :

If it gets accepted as-is, I am planning on reporting a couple of issues:
- please merge github over to git.d.o, this is confusing since
d/control explicitely ref git.d.o as the main VCS location
- d/rules should use uscan to get-orig-source, see ref [1] for an
example on how to add a shell script in d/watch
- some overlinking issues:
