Fixed. I've used dh_auto_build to limit the needed override targets.

Fixed.

I see, thanks for the explanation, makes sense.

lamby does a great job, I didn't referred to him personally above.

To put it differently, especially regarding this upstream metadata
check: If someone opens a bug against lintian to add a new check, does
"this new check" needs to be backed up by some general consensus within
the project? Is there some "formal process" around this, besides opening
a new bug?

This is fixed as well, see 20180321010428.GJ8754@debian.

Will do, once mwic hits the archive, to serve as a proof of concept.

Changes pushed to git, package on m.d.n updated.

Thanks!
