Dear maintainer:
I tried to build this package with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(i.e. only architecture-independent packages), and it failed:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This usually happens because there is a binary-indep target in debian/rules
which is either empty or does not do anything useful.
If all the arch-independent packages are dummy transitional packages released
with jessie,
the easy fix is to drop them now. If not, debian/rules should be modified so
that the
binary-indep target generates the architecture independent packages (and only
those).
After checking that both "dpkg-buildpackage -A" and "dpkg-buildpackage -B" work
properly, this package will be suitable to be uploaded in source-only form if
you wish
(I recommend that you try it).
Thanks.
