+List of things to do when adding a new script to devscripts package:
+
+1. Add the script under scripts/

+ scripts/Makefile and patch it
+ - if the script is perl and uses embedded POD for documentation, add an
+ entry to the GEN_MAN1S variable in Makefile
+2. Add an entry in README
+3. Add an entry in debian/control
+4. Add an entry in po4a/devscripts-po4a.conf
+5. Add any necessary entries to the Suggests: and Recommends: lines in
+ debian/control
+6. Modify conf.default.in and debian/postinst if necessary
+7. Modify debian/copyright if necessary
+8. Add entries in .gitignore
+9. Add a changelog entry
+10. Add an entry in https://wiki.debian.org/Devscripts/bugs (and send to the BTS)
