Packaging looks good.  Just one nit:  While this is as Chuck did it way
back when, I think the files under /usr/share/doc should go into the
base cygutils package, rather than the cygutils-extra package, i.e.

  usr/share/doc/cygutils/AUTHORS
  usr/share/doc/cygutils/ChangeLog
  usr/share/doc/cygutils/COPYING
  usr/share/doc/cygutils/HOW-TO-CONTRIBUTE
  usr/share/doc/cygutils/licenses/
  usr/share/doc/cygutils/licenses/COPYING.BSD-no-advert
  usr/share/doc/cygutils/licenses/COPYING.GPLv2
  usr/share/doc/cygutils/licenses/COPYING.GPLv3
  usr/share/doc/cygutils/NEWS
  usr/share/doc/cygutils/PROGLIST
  usr/share/doc/cygutils/README
  usr/share/doc/cygutils/TODO

should be in the cygutils package, while

  usr/share/doc/cygutils/cygicons/
  usr/share/doc/cygutils/cygicons/README
  usr/share/doc/cygutils/lpr/
  usr/share/doc/cygutils/lpr/README

should stay in cygutils-extra.

That's a minor point and at your discretion, otherwise GTG.

You have both, a SRC_URI and a GIT_URI.  This might confuse cygport.
Drop the SRC_URI and only keep GIT_URI.
