Here are my comments: - why are config.sub,guess changed in the diff.gz? If you replace them, please rm them in the clean target ( there is no need to save them in debian/ dir: removeing a file present in the upstream tarball, will avoid its changes to appear in the diff, but the file will still be present when unpacking since it's in orig.tar.gz) - 3.8.0 request the Homepage field in source stanza of debian/control - you can remove "see COPYING file for details." from debian/copyright; it's always better to refer to GPL-2 local file for GPLv2+ software - please forward the patches upstream (if you haven't done so yet) - the list of featurs has too much space at the beginning of the line: please only use 2 spaces (so that packages.d.o will show the list in verbatim) - clarify the license of debian packaging - debian/dirs is probably not needed, look if you can remove - can't you use dh_installman to install manpage instead of do it "by hand"? - remove all the commented/not needed dh_* calls - please include a description (eventually the author too) in the patches, as even lintian signals: W: nast source: quilt-patch-missing-description - manpage has still many warnings: I: nast: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign Once fixed, please reupload (same debian revision) and reply to this email Regards, -- Sandro Tosi (aka morph, Morpheus, matrixhasu) My website: http://matrixhasu.altervista.org/ Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
