As you already have to downgrade the version compared to the ppa, please 
use: 0.5.390-0ubuntu1.

Keep me posted once you have done a build with this new debian/rules!

You will have to reupload a version to debian anyway, so I would say, 
include a .menu once you are uploading that to Debian NEW again? (and 
we'll then just sync it up from Debian in Ubuntu)

Unfortunately, not, I'm not a debian FTP master, sorry :/

Thanks for your work!
