Thanks anyway. Great review!

Upstream released 0.3 and after fixing, 0.3-1 was released. -> I used 0.3.1 as
version number, because there is no other way to reflect this (Debian should be
wrong here). They also can't explain why using '-' and not '.' there. Don't
know, if they will change the version numbering in the future.

-> It's not a svn checkout (you also did a md5check above, I downloaded it from
there, too).

Thanks for that. Don't know, why I missed that.

Will ask upstream for that.

Quoting from there:
'When upstream uses setuptools to provide eggs [...]'

Upstream uses distutils and not setuptools, so there should be no need to add
this as BR.

New URLS till resolving the license issue :(
