wouldn't it be quite appropriate for golearn, and for Debian in general, to look for a more generic way? 1. Packaging There are already guidelines, what kinds of documentation is needed to build a debian package, of course, some files are not compulsary as they are not needed for any type of software, but: How about introducing a guideline like: software packages providing graphical applications (GUI) should come with at least one screen shot that is named ... and situated in ... 2. Generic Screenshots with Make Maybe this is going too far, just an idea to get a wide range of screenshots in a generic way: Add a build option to make that will start your application once and save a screenshot to the default path for screenshots within build tree. Maybe the naive approach violates against privacy aspects (imagine kmail was run and a screenshot of all your mails spread in a sudden). With some build chains (like from qt-develop) there might be the option to access resource files that were created by some GUI builder, more versatile developers will know better.
