I think checking /etc/lsb-release for the name of the distribution may
be more appropriate than a straight text patch. This way the patch
could be used upstream and we'd avoid a difference between the Debian
and Ubuntu versions.
I also spotted a minor typo in the usage message text which I corrected,
and I updated the Standards-Version to keep lintian happy :-)
I'll attach a .debdiff. For some reason dch created a ubuntu-specific
version for me... anyway, here it is.
The patch becomes:
