If you don't use compat 5 features, you can stick to 4, no problem. On the other hand, how is your package going to get to sarge users? I guess through backports, and then you can build it in a sarge-backports environment, and debhelper 5 is available there. >>- debian/control >> - if your package is in the pkg-games svn repo, and sponsored by an >> member of that team, shouldn't the mainter set to them and you just >> an uploader? >> >> > For the moment, it is not sponsored by anyone. So, you say I am the > Uploader, aren't you the Maintainer ? IMO Alexander was wrong here. There's no field for sponsors. Either the package is team-maintained by the debian-games list (however it is called), then the list address should be in the maintainer field, with the people who mostly care about it (DDs or non-DDs) in the Uploaders: Field. Or it is maintained only by you, or you and a couple of people without connection to such a list. Then you should be in the Maintainer field, and the possible others (or nobody) in the Uploaders field. See the Debian Policy on that.
