Consider adding copyright notices to ./debian/rules and ./debian/copyright with your name and years of the names of previous maintainers and contributors who have worked on the Debian packaging. Consider removing commented lines from ./debian/rules CFLAGS and INSTALL_PROGRAM seem to be unused. --- sim-0.9.3.svn133.orig/debian/sim.3 Why not build-depend on help2man instead of including this in the .diff? sim-0.9.3.svn133.orig/debian/sim.postinst sim-0.9.3.svn133.orig/debian/sim.postrm I don't see anything custom here, so I think this file can be deleted. Debhelper tools can create the trivial maintscripts for you. Consider using dh_makeshibs rather than a custom shlibs file: + install -m644 debian/shlibs debian/sim/DEBIAN/shlibs For that matter, sim-0.9.3.svn133.orig/debian/shlibs Do you actually want to provide shared libraries, anyway? Are there multiple binaries linked to said libraries, and is there a space savings? Or, do you intend to provide a stable ABI against which other packages are allowed to depend? If not, then I would suggest to link statically, without -fPIC flags. ./debian/copyright: you seem to confuse copyright and license. Please see this thread: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2004/03/msg02190.html and this bug: http://bugs.debian.org/336901 sim-0.9.3.svn133.orig/debian/docs You might prefer to list the README on the commandline to dh_installdocs, rather than use a separate file. Sorry, but I'm not a DD, and so can't sponsor packages. -- Clear skies, Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
