I made some changes to the installation and re-wrote debian/copyright.
Also, can you start to save the Debian stuff as .debian.tar.xz instead of .diff.gz?

Does this solve anything or is it just churn?  I have no interest in
changing the copyright format, tbh.

I don't like the 3.0 (quilt) format, so no.

It solves at least this Lintian warning:
 > W: chrpath: copyright-without-copyright-notice
If you really want to keep the old copyright file, you should add
"Copyright 2001-2014" somewhere to get rid of the warning.

And the actual upstream changelog ('NEWS') is saved as changelog.gz,
instead of the deprecated changelog file.
The rest is basically to reduce the code in debian/rules and probably a
matter of taste.

That new format is easier to handle though, i.e. if you want to copy
patches or do similar things. But again a matter of taste I guess.

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
chrpath, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.

A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is
attached.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 755918@bugs.debian.org,
and the maintainer will reopen the bug report if appropriate.
