Much better! Thanks. > I'm confused as to why it didn't ask me to sign it. Depends on how you built the package. Usually I run "debuild" which will try to sign the package afterwards. Signing the package is important if the package gets uploaded to Debian because you need a Debian developer's signature on the package to be accepted in the official repositories - just a security measure. However the package is not yet in perfect shape. Run "lintian" on the final package (lintian -i *deb) to see some obvious problems. Just in case there is a misunderstanding. You usually don't need to care for a Debian package. It's okay to have someone who is familiar with Debian to deal with all the policy and procedures. Here I assume that you are personally interested in maintaining the Debian package. Just to let you know there are surely volunteers in the Debian project so you can concentrate on developing the actual (upstream) software.
