>From a fast look: 1. there seems to be upstream file modificed without a patch system: would you please add one (or consider it and if you choose not to use one explain the reason)? $ zcat xmms2_0.6DrMattDestruction-2.diff.gz | filterdiff -x "*/debian/*" | diffstat .gitignore | 31 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ COPYING | 6 ++--- src/clients/lib/perl/wscript | 6 ++--- src/include/xmmsclient/xmmsclient++/helpers.h | 1 4 files changed, 38 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) 2. there is no debian/watch file - please add one 3. no need to b-d on python, since python-all-dev takes it already in 4. debian copyright - there should be a section about debian packaging copyright - please separate copyright and license sections 5. the package is absolutely *not* lintian clean! use $ lintian -iIv --pedantic /path/tot/xmms2_0.6DrMattDestruction-2_i386.changes and you'll see a lot of output. Many items are to be discarded (like no upstream changelog, long description too short and so) but: - binary-without-manpage - hyphen-used-as-minus-sign - no-symbols-control-file - unused-override should be addressed. At this point, I didn't check further. > Florian Ragwitz, the maintainer of xmms2, is very busy and have no time > for it.
