I think you can re-upload a package over the existing one on mentors. If not, you can delete the old one via the web interface.
It would be nice if you re-upload with the new description, but it is not necessary. It is a good idea for discussions like this to be made to the -mentors list. I have taken the liberty of replying to the list so my further comments are made public. I had a brief look at your package and noticed a couple of things: - Your package should be updated for the new Python policy <http://wiki.debian.org/DebianPython/NewPolicy>. - Many sponsors like to have commented-out debhelper entries in the debian/rules file removed altogether. A couple of useful sponsorship checklists are: - http://people.debian.org/~neilm/sponsorship.html - http://people.debian.org/~mpalmer/sponsorship_checklist.html -Ted (Not a Debian Developer) Martin Kelly wrote: > That makes sense... will do.
