Sure! That is good! :D
If you can add me, I will in a few hours have some free time to
merge my fork changes into it.
Also anyone that have a working fork please send the link to the
repos so I can check it.

It would be nice to aggregate a list of the most interesting forks
and attempt to merge some of the features and/or fixes in, and
possibly get this fork tagged as the canonical fork for packages,
users, etc. If we can get some sort of a majority approval that is.
I'll be more than happy to add permissions for people and/or pass
it off to someone that might have more time than myself to manage.
cheers,

Oh yes, Debian Jessie did not release with rtlsdr bandwidth
setting code.
But, the rtl-sdr currently available in Debian unstable,
testing and
jessie-backports include current git HEAD code -
v0.5.3-12-ge3c03f7.
(based upon
git://git.osmocom.org/rtl-sdr.git
<http://git.osmocom.org/rtl-sdr.git>)
So, while the Debian source package starts from the v0.5.3 tag,
I use
the 3.0 (quilt) source format to also include more recent git
commits.
https://sources.debian.net/src/rtl-sdr/0.5.3-5/debian/patches/
Ubuntu Wily Werewolf and Xenial Xerus also contain rtl-sdr based on
v0.5.3-12-ge3c03f7.
A release would be good. I'd be happy to reduce the amount of stuff
in the debian/ packaging directory - the various man pages could
be adopted upstream, as well as the improve-librtlsdr-pc-file and
improve-scanning-range-parsing patches.
And a gpg signed tarball release, or even just a gpg signed tag
would be a help in establishing source code integrity. A new
release
for osmocom might indeed help synchronize the various
distributions.
Thanks for keeping me informed,
