This link doesn't work, but this does: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/pyxplot/pyxplot_0.6.3.1+ds-1.dsc I am not a DD, so I cannot sponsor, but just some remarks (but a sponsor can have a different demands): * the package looks good, it is lintian/linda clean and builds in cowbuilder * Why not to join the PAPT team and let it maintain as part of it? http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/PythonAppsPackagingTeam * I think you need to state in debian/copyright how exactly you obtained the orig.tar.gz, the way I do it, is that I create "get-orig-tarball" rule in debian/rules and this will download the upstream tarball, unpack it, delete non-free stuff, and pack it again, see for example the "abinit" package in unstable * the version should be 0.6.3.1.dfsg-1 instead of 0.6.3.1+ds-1 * just curious - why is the python-scipy build dependency needed?
