I don't actually think that lintian is completely happy with your package. At least if you ran it with lintian -i bbpager_0.4.0-1_ppc.changes (the -i gives more information on its reports) or alternatively against both .deb and .dsc files, it should have reported that you made a native-looking source package (i.e. one without .diff.gz and .orig.tar.gz) for a non-native package (i.e. one with -x appended to the upstream version number). I assume that you build the package with dpkg-buildpackage (or a wrapper around it like svn-buildpackage or cvs-buildpackage). If this is the case, simply putting the original upstream source tarball as bbpager_0.4.0.orig.tar.gz before calling dpkg-buildpackage will generate the correct .dsc and .diff.gz files to compose the source triplet for non-native packages (package_X.Y.orig.tar.gz, package_X.Y-Z.diff.gz and package_X.Y-Z.dsc). I can't sponsor the package anyway, but it could also help to include direct links to the three files mentioned above in your mail along with the full description of the package, even if it would be a simple matter of "aptitude show bbpager" to fetch the description. cu, sven
