Thanks Alex, Paulo and Gregor. Great to have this released!

And thanks for the learning opportunity. As in, my help probably didn't actually save you any time in the short run, because the only thing I effectively did was change the changelog of the upstream patch, and you had to redo that anyway because I wasn't experienced enough. But next time I'd know how to proceed.

About the versioning, I wasn't really sure, because https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/UpdatePreparation#Packaging says 0.1, but I did not recall ever seeing such a package version, and dch automatically put 1 there. In retrospect I had all the information to conclude it should have been 0.1 though.

Because I must say that the documentation is very well done. It was way easier to figure everything out than expected. (I had never used dch, debuild or debdiff before.) The full documentation is enormous, and the SecurityTeam wiki pages distill it to the essential which is much appreciated.

The links to 'debdiff' are broken though, and I do not know where to report those, so I'll add them here: both https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/SponsorsQueue link to https://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/traditional-packaging.html#creating-a-debdiff , which does not exist.
