I have a few comments on the package. Please note that I cannot upload
the package for you.
* Please add a full stop to the Initial release line of you
debian/changelog.
* See
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices.en.html#s-bpp-upstream-info
for the suggested way to format the Homepage pseudo-field of
debian/control. Obviously it is only suggested, but I would suggest
you follow the convention unless you have a specific reason not to.
* You could add a sentence to the Description descibing what lzh files
are, or when the user might need to decompress them.
* Your debian/copyright needs two changes.
- The Copyright: line needs the date as well. This then makes the
Copyright line of the License section redundant.
- You should provide a statement about the copyright of the debian
packaging. See
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/03/msg00023.html
for an example.
* It seems like docbook-to-man can also be Build-Depends-Indep.
* Should you mention what functionality is missing from this
implementation? Should this also be mentioned in the Description?
* You Conflict with lha, and then try and set up an alternative for
lha. Is this really what you intend? I can see why it might be done,
but I would like to know that you have chosen this route for the
right reasons.
