first of all, thanks for useful comments!

OK, changed.

OK, changed.

OK, done for ubuntugis/wily in [1]. I was just surprised that `git
commit` also push changes to the origin. So `git push` is not needed,
right?

Sorry, I overlooked this issue, thanks for patience.

No, I checked for lintian and didn't find anything about warning? What
do you mean exactly?

Thanks! Martin
