I looked at it. Comments:
* This is not a Debian-native package, so you should provide
both of .orig.tar.gz and .diff.gz .
* debian/control says:
| Maintainer: B0Ti <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
If you want to maintain a package in Debian, you should use
your real full name.
| Build-Depends: debhelper (>> 3.0.0)
At least libgnome-dev and libdb3-dev are missing.
| Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}
| Suggests: kanjipad
gjiten doesn't work without a dictionary file, so gjiten must
depend on a package which provide one.
* You need to remove config.status and config.cache manually
in the clean target of debian/rules because make distclean
does nothing in the first run (there is no Makefile).
* You should not include INSTALL in .deb .
* Don't compile with -ggdb by default.
* lintian is your friend.
* Being sponsored means you maintain the package. To maintain
a package you need a Debian account and you need to apply
the NM process if you don't have one, If you just want to
see gjiten in Debian, file a RFP bug against wnpp.
* README.ja is broken (mojibake). (This is an upstream bug,
not a packaging problem.)
* I don't sponsor anyone who is not in the NM queue or
who doesn't have a GPG key signed by a Debian developer.
