Comment 2 for bug 1213998

I did a quick look at the branch without trying to build it, and here are my questions:
1. debian/compat is 8, which should bump to 9 with no other change needed.
2. debian/control says section is "gnome", while the application itself has nothing to do with gnome, it's should be changed to something else more appropriate.
3. debian/control contains a description which is too short, it should be rewritten to be more detailed about what the application does.
