The package appears to be lintian clean.

Hi there,
Please notice that you should provide a source package and not a
binary package (as you did).
This can be done by executing dpkg-buildpackage (as I imagine you did)
but with the '-S' option.
Also, there's a FAQ that probably will answer most of your questions
that
can be found here:
http://people.debian.org/~mpalmer/debian-mentors_FAQ.html
Regards,
Mauro
Ok, thanks for the advice. I'll have a read through the FAQ and make a
source package. I actually used dpkg-deb not dpkg-buildpackage, as
when I try to use dh_make (as per the New Maintainers Guide), I get an
error about no Makefiles being found in the top directory, even though
I know they're there. I also can't seem to convert the Makefile into
the rule file manually.
Just out of interest, should the Makefiles be generated with ./
configure then put in the package, or should debian/rules generate
them with ./configure? When I try to get rules to do that (adding './
configure --prefix=/usr' to the configure section of debian/tules), I
get an error like: 'Make: ./configure not found'.
Thanks
Harry Rickards
