Fixed, yeah, sorry!

The main developer is a Debian author, and there's no formal page, so
this seemed like the best one.  He has his own git repository and then
just packages straight for Debian.  This is the best http-accessible
page for describing things I could find!

Ok, I just dropped the (libxdo bindings), which is probably obvious, and
an interested reader can check the description anyway.

Yes... so there's another one, python-libxdo, and I have it
half-packaged locally.  The python-xdo author (also the assword author)
is currently using python-xdo, but is encouraging use of python-libxdo
for the future, and assword may move to that soon too.  I'll package
that, and we can drop python-xdo probably, once assword moves to
python-libxdo.

Anyway, new patch attached!
