You can even use debhelper 12 in Debian unstable. It works for me just fine. It is recommended to use an up-to-date Debian unstable/sid system for development because older versions or derivatives like Ubuntu don't provide all the features you need. Compat level 11 or 12 are not available in Debian 9. The package looks much better now and I could play the game for the first time. = copyright = Please note that NC (= non commercial) licenses are not approved and you must replace the content if you want to include infinitetux in Debian. Is there really a specific OpenGameArt license? The OGA-BY-3.0 looks similar to CC-BY-3.0. = changelog = The initial changelog should contain just one paragraph. infinitetux (1.1) unstable; urgency=medium * Initial release. (Closes: #923180) -- qbancoffee <qbancof...@yahoo.com> Thu, 27 Dec 2018 10:31:26 +0000 You can update the changelog timestamp by running dch -r. = wrap-and-sort = There is nice tool called wrap-and-sort in the devscripts package. As the name implies it tidies your debian directory. wrap-and-sort -sa will also remove trailing whitespace (which is currently present in d/copyright = control = The short description should be Description: 2D platformer game inspired by Infinite Mario Here goes the long description. Currently the long description is incomplete. You duplicate the Homepage field. Section should be games not X11. desktop.file: [Desktop Entry] Comment=Infinite Tux. Terminal=false Name=Infinite Tux. Exec=/usr/bin/infinitetux Type=Application Icon=/usr/share/doc/infinitetux/icon.png NoDisplay=false Categories=Game The Comment should be different than the Name. I would change it to [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Terminal=false StartupNotify=false Categories=Game;ArcadeGame; Keywords=game;arcade;platform; Icon=infinitetux Exec=infinitetux Name=Infinitetux Comment=2D platformer game inspired by Infinite Mario There is no need for absolute paths and you should install the icon into the hicolor icon directory /usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps where it will be detected automatically. Bonus points if you create an appstream file as upstream too and install it into /usr/share/metainfo You can remove all maven.* files and infinitetux.poms because you don't use Maven to build the package. There is still one Lintian warning: manpage-has-bad-whatis-entry If you want to see all warnings including the experimental ones, then I suggest to use info=yes display-info=yes display-experimental=yes pedantic=yes show-overrides=yes color=auto verbose=yes in ~/.config/lintian/lintianrc We are getting closer!
