Hi Andreas!
Thanks for the time and interest you've given to looking at this, I
really appreciate that you've given some attention to looking for and
making actual improvements which do make this usefully better - rather
than just mechanically churning some stylistic changes that don't
actually provide any practical benefit to either the users of it, or the
people developing it.
I'd actually fixed most of this in an unreleased 0.4 version that I'd
been testing locally because it had a substantive improvement to
gitkeeper which I wanted to get some mileage on before committing to not
doing that differently and making the sort of promises that are implicit
in publishing something for other users.
And then apparently I blinked and time did that whooshing thing that it
does so well! :D
I've prepared an 0.5 release this week with updates for moving to Trixie
(and the useful backport targets from that baseline) - so if the freeze
ends and the release goes out as expected in the next few days, then
I'll push that version to the distro, probably next week.
Cheers,
Ron

Hi Ron,
I noticed that you recently pushed a commit to add Vcs fields to the
Git
repository on Salsa[1]. This is really helpful.
Since past NMUs hadn't been imported yet, I've taken the liberty to do
so in a fork of your repository[2]. While working on it, I also fixed
the RC bug by switching to the short dh format, which might be a useful
improvement in general.
Additionally, I updated the packaging to current standards and resolved
all Lintian warnings in the process.
As MRs aren't enabled on your repository, I'm reaching out via email.
Please let me know if you'd like to integrate these changes-I'd be
happy
to hand them over or help with merging.
If I don't hear back within the next 30 days, I plan to upload the
updated package as an NMU to address the RC bug.
Kind regards
Andreas.
PS: This package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[3] initiative,
which
aims to introduce newcomers to manageable tasks and guide them
through
the workflow to solve them.
