Is the version 2.4-1 on mentors ready to be uploaded? If so, I think it should be uploaded since overall it improves apon the package already in Debian. That said, some problems you may want to fix: A review of the 2.4-1 interdiff: Homepage is a real field now: http://wiki.debian.org/HomepageFieldHOWTO 442416 is not "please package a new release" therefore put it on a line with "Fix loading zynaddsubfx's XML files". You seem to have added test/.cvsignore, doc/.cvsignore, .cvsignore, why? About the rpath removal patch, maybe it would be better to use chrpath mentioned at http://wiki.debian.org/RpathIssue than patching A review of the whole 2.4-1 package: Perhaps you could ask upstream to fix the rpath issue in the next release? Might want to add this to your quilt config and refresh the patches: QUILT_REFRESH_ARGS="-p0 --no-timestamps --no-index" Some other useful quilt bits: QUILT_PATCH_OPTS="--unified-reject-files" QUILT_DIFF_ARGS="--color=auto --no-timestamps --no-index" QUILT_COLORS="diff_hdr=1;32:diff_add=1;34:diff_rem=1;31:diff_hunk=1;33:diff_ctx=35:diff_cctx=33" The special thing for nostrip is not needed now, dh_strip handles it. You don't install manpages using dh_installman, so don't run it. Upstream seems to be using the -Os optimisation flag and then it gets overridden by -O2 from debian/rules. Since this is a mini-xml parser, maybe it would better to use -Os too, unless noopt is on? Most humans will be looking for libmxml-dev, so I suggest moving most of the libmxml1 description to the libmxml-dev description. Some dpkg-shlibs warnings (hmmmmm hmmm hmmmm): dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: debian/libmxml-dev/usr/bin/mxmldoc shouldn't be linked with libpthread.so.0 (it uses none of its symbols). dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: symbol pthread_once used by debian/libmxml1/usr/lib/libmxml.so.1.4 found in none of the libraries. dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: symbol pthread_setspecific used by debian/libmxml1/usr/lib/libmxml.so.1.4 found in none of the libraries. dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: symbol pthread_key_create used by debian/libmxml1/usr/lib/libmxml.so.1.4 found in none of the libraries. dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: symbol pthread_getspecific used by debian/libmxml1/usr/lib/libmxml.so.1.4 found in none of the libraries.
