It looks fine. I can't upload the package for you, but I do have some comments which may help to further improve the package: - Description: I don't like the short and long description. I realise you didn't make it up but it's your responsibility now :) | Description: brings the LaTeX power to Vim | Vim is undoubtedly one of the best editors ever made. LaTeX is an extremeley | powerful, intelligent typesetter. Vim-LaTeX aims at bringing together the best | of both of these worlds. | . | We attempt to provide a comprehensive set of tools to view, edit and compile | LaTeX documents without the need to ever quit Vim. Together, they provide | tools like macros speeding up the edition of LaTeX documents, means for | compiling tex files to forward searching .dvi documents. | . | This package also provides help to LaTeX in vim. The short description doesn't really tell one what exactly this package brings to Vim. The long description already does a bit better, but I'd put the second paragraph first, because that's the one that actually tells us what this does. The first paragraph is quite redundant and I suggest you just drop it, or at least move it down. Maybe change the short one to "View, edit and compile LaTeX documents entirely from within Vim". - You've made some miscellaneous changes but you didn't mention them in the changelog: * New upstream release * Adoption of package (Closes: #307166) For example: you've updated the standards-version, you've added a dependency and made changes to debian/rules. Please make sure you document all the packaging changes you make in your changelog. - Standards-Version: you've changed this to 3.6.2.2, I'd suggest to state just "3.6.2". The last part of the version number indicates only textual/formatting revisions to the policy so it's not significant for the package (i.e.: you never need to make changes to your package between 3.6.2.2 and 3.6.2.3). - debian/rules: for clarity, please remove the commented-out dh_* commands. - debhelper: you could consider moving to debhelper compatibility level 5 (newest and recommended) but this is not necessary. - debian/copyright: doesn't list the years of the copyright, please see http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/03/msg00023.html Good luck with the adoption, and if you look at these points I'm pretty sure that someone will sponsor you. bye, Thijs
