No need to do that.

Really. :) Just some suggestions... debian/control: - Remove the empty "Builds:" line - The "debhelper" dependency can go into "Build-Depends-Indep:" since your package is architecture-independent - Typo. Beautifull -> Beautiful - "Description:..." "popular" is a bit generic :) What about: Description: Nuvola icon theme for KDE3 debian/copyright: - please use the exact URL where you downloaded the upstream tarball (http://www.icon-king.com/files/nuvola-1.0.tar.gz) - "This library is free software"... library? - "On debian machines"... isn't this Debian? :) debian/docs: - is "thanks.to" useful? - the "readme.txt" contains a redundant copyright and not much more useful information IMHO. What do you think? - "author" can surely be omitted debian/rules: - you need a "binary-arch" target (see http://www.de.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-debianrules) Don't be frustrated by the amount of comments. Those are mainly minor issues. Thanks for your contribution already. I believe you'll quickly find a sponsor once this is fixed.
