I've tested debcraft on a random package which I just had in my
terminal (nibabel) and have two remarks:

1. Its loosing d/copyright information:

    Update copyright years for recent contributors

 What is the motivation to not mention former copyright holders?

2. Depends are sorted alphabethically - fine so far.  I could
   imagine there are maintainers who want to keep a certain
   sorting.  Can this feature be somehow suppressed?

 
Thank you for your work on this
    Andreas.
