I am very pleased to read that there is a debian package of the
actual grass version now.
Are you in contact with Frederico to get the new debian package into
the official debian distribution? In my opinion it would be of great
value to replace grass5.0pre4 and additionally it would probably
save Frederico some work to base on your package instead of building
a new update package by himself.

Perhaps you should copy the official source tar.gz to
grass_5.0.2.orig.tar.gz before building the debian package. A file
named grass_5.0.2-<release>.diff.gz will then automatically created.
So it would be easier to track down your changes.

Cheers and thanks again for your effort to update the package.
