Do you mean the files in the tar ball?

3) I note your wijesekera directory doesn't contain a debian directory,
hence it is not a native Debian package. It's not necessary, but it
maybe easier to maintain if the debian directory and files are
committed.
The MOTU guys said they prefer for it not to be there.

4) What does pkgdev in the "Maintainer" field mean?

Don't worry about it. I just added that just in-case I needed to sign with
different signatures. (i.e. outside packaging)

You might want to verify that with the Ubuntu MOTU guys. I can't find the
reference now, but during one of the IRC sessions, they mentioned that
pretty much everything has to come through debian.

Thanks.
