Next time I should try to announce it ASAP to avoid duplication of work. (Sorry, Noèl!) I do have a comment about your source mailscanner_4.68.8.orig.tar.gz though. The files therein are owned by thargor (your username right?), so I assume you have repackaged the upstream source tarball yourself. If I'm not mistaken, the original "pristine" upstream source is this: MailScanner-install-4.68.8/perl-tar/MailScanner-4.68.8-1.tar.gz from http://mailscanner.info/files/4/tar/MailScanner-install-4.68.8-1.tar.gz Since the contents within the upstream MailScanner-4.68.8-1.tar.gz and your repackaged mailscanner_4.68.8.orig.tar.gz are entirely identical, I think using pristine source is best practice. Please read "Section 6.7.8 Best practices for orig.tar.gz files" in the Debian Developer's Reference: http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices.en.html MailScanner-install-4.68.8/perl-tar/MailScanner-4.68.8-1.tar.gz file (at least for 4.68.8 version) fits the criteria for pristine upstream source, so instead of unpacking it and re-compressing it, I recommend simply copying or renaming MailScanner-4.68.8-1.tar.gz to mailscanner_4.68.8.orig.tar.gz . So yes, for your next upload of new upstream release, please try your best to use upstream pristine source. You may want to update debian/copyright a bit as well (e.g. change 2002-2007 to 2002-2008).
