Hello,

Thanks for your work on this package. Here are a few notes that should be fixed:
 - In the copyright file, the license should be named Expat instead of MIT. Feel free to remove the Disclaimer line, that's fairly frequent and it's fine as long as you manually check.
 - Please upgrade the watch file to version 5.
 - Please try to follow the DEP-3 standard for patch headers: https://dep-team.pages.debian.net/deps/dep3/
 - Please remove the trailing whitespace from control.
 - Upgrading to Standards-Version 4.7.4 means you can drop Priority: optional and Rules-Requires-Root: no.
 - Please consider upgrading to debhelper-compat 14.
 - Consider installing the examples.

No need for a new changelog entry. Please remove the moreinfo tag when you're ready for another round of review. Feel free to CC me, if I'm available I can look again.

Best regards,
Simon Quigley

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback. I've finally gotten around to making the
changes, and was able to everything you requested. Mentors reports some
lintian warnings but I think that's due using an older version of
lintian? Locally and in CI things look good.

Let me know if there's anything else that needs clean up.

Hi Jacob,

I have just uploaded this to the Debian NEW queue, where it will either be accepted or rejected. If it is rejected, feel free to CC me on a followup and I can look if I'm available. Either way, we will both receive an email.

Best regards,
