(1)Do you know 'lintian'? If not, please try it with following command: $ lintian -vi lib-nbio-java_1.4_i386.changes Please try remove all error messages and warnings. (2)Java package name is libXXX-java. @see http://people.debian.org/~opal/java/policy.html/policy-libraries.html Would you change the package name to libnbio-java? (3)Build-Depends field is incomplete. At least, it's depend on JDK. What JVM and compiler do you use? If you can, I recommend use jikes and kaffe. They are free java compiler and runtime. You can also use gcj to compile Java source. > I am not a "real" developer, so I can't upload this.
