Bug Description

... and broke edos-debcheck ;)

Depends field of all binary package says that:
Depends: lightning-extension (>= 0.7), lightning-extension (<< 0.7.*), ...

but "*" is not a valid character in a version number, as said in :

http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Version

"The upstream_version may contain only alphanumerics[35] and the characters . + - : ~ (full stop, plus, hyphen, colon, tilde) and should start with a digit. If there is no debian_revision then hyphens are not allowed; if there is no epoch then colons are not allowed."

And http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html doesn't report exception to this.
So, no "*" should be contained in any dependency related field.

Uploaded a debdiff that could fix it.
Also bumped standards version to 3.8.0, and moved Homepage infos in appropriate fields.

The debdiff in that bug report does not fix template files which are absolutely needed so it should not be uploaded to repositories. Thanks for this good work, I'll take care to add your fix while upgrading lightning-extension-locales to 0.8 (bug 236964).
