As far as I understood from dpkg-source(1), if there are no external modifications, then the source package name doesn't need to contain .orig. >From http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ap-pkg-sourcepkg.html: "If there is no original source code - for example, if the package is specially prepared for Debian or the Debian maintainer is the same as the upstream maintainer - the format is slightly different: then there is no diff, and the tarfile is named package_version.tar.gz and contains a directory package-version." > At least libgnome-dev and libdb3-dev are missing. libgnome-dev added. gjiten doesn't depend directly on libdb3, afaik gnome does. libgnome-dev should be suficient here I think. > * You should not include INSTALL in .deb .

At least this is the recommended/preferred way I heard. It looks to me that applying for the NM and getting sponsored is not that easy as I thought, though I'll try do do everything possible I can. Filing a RFP bug is also fine with me, but I have a feeling that this will just sit there on the "wishlist" for months. Any recommendations? > * README.ja is broken (mojibake).

According to /etc/locale.alias, ja_JP is an alias for ja_JP.eucJP, so I think this is fine as ja_JP. I fixed all the things you mentioned, updated packages are available from http://gjiten.sourceforge.net.
