Bug#1141175: RFS: moraine/0.1.1-1 [ITP] -- snapshot backup over SSH/rsync and rclone

Hello Simon, and thanx for contacting me. First of all, sorry for the 
late reply. 3 kids, 2 jobs (1 wich is my own business) and a hours takes 
alot of time, and Moraine is something I enjoy working on whenever I get 
a few hours for myself.

Thank you so much for taking the time to go through this in such detail. 
I'm still fairly new to Debian packaging and learning something new with 
every round of feedback, so this is genuinely a big help to me. I've 
addressed all five points:

1. Changelog
    Collapsed it down to a single initial entry and corrected the 
version to 0.2.0-1 — I hadn't realised a first upload should just be one 
"Initial release" entry rather than carrying the whole history.

2. Copyright / license name
    Renamed the license from "MIT" to "Expat" in debian/copyright. Good 
learn that Expat is the correct name for this exact license text in Debian.

3. Standards-Version and control fields
    Bumped Standards-Version to 4.7.4 and dropped both 
Rules-Requires-Root: no and Priority: optional from the source stanza.

4. debhelper compat
    Upgraded to debhelper-compat 14.

5. Watch file
    Upgraded to version 5. I learned along the way that v5 is a new 
deb822-style format rather than just a version-number bump, so I rewrote 
it with the Version/Source/Mode/Matching-Pattern fields (still tracking 
the git tags).

All five are done in the packaging. I'll give it a final lintian run in 
a clean unstable chroot and upload the corrected 0.2.0-1 to mentors. 
Please let me know if there's anything else I should fix — I really 
appreciate the guidance.

Thanks again,
Jonaz
