Hi Michael! Your package looks good. There are only 3 small things that you may want to do (or you can do them on a latter version of your package).

You don't need to remove them from your source package. You can just not install them. With CDBS you need to use this in debian/rules, after the includes: DEB_INSTALL_DOCS_ALL := TODO Then CDBS will only install the TODO file (leaving README and AUTHORS without being installed, for example). > I should point out that I was using what appears to be an outdated (year > old?) policy manual that needs updating: > http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/menu-policy/ch2.html The latest version of lintian will catch this old menu format. You can also read /usr/share/doc/menu/menu.txt.gz, from menu package version 2.1.35 > > And it's not necessary to have "Encoding=UTF-8" in cellwriter.desktop. > > Done. It's not wrong to modify a file directly (like you did with cellwriter.desktop), but it's good to keep all your changes inside the debian/ dir. If you need to modify a file, you can patch it (using dpatch, quilt, simple-patch-system, or something else that you like). And the last thing is change command="cellwriter" to command="/usr/bin/cellwriter" in your debian/menu file. If you want to fix debian/rules to install only the necessary docs, use a patch system (for cellwriter.desktop) and change the menu file, then perfect. Otherwise I can upload the package if you don't want to change them now (as I said before, your package isn't wrong if you don't change this). (I will reply the other email only to you as debian-mentors isn't the place to we talk about this, OK?)
