Request 3:
Could the standards version used in debian/control file for packaging 
Debian and Ubuntu packages be a preference as well. I saw in the code 
that it is kind of old.
Standards version 3.9.5 would be more up to date and it changes from 
time to time, so maybe it shouldn't be hardcoded, but just a default 
value that is configurable in IDE.

Thanks,
