Thanks.
1) Insisting on NMU prior to Initial release does not make much of sense and I don't think we even need a lintian check for that ;-) kwstyle (1.0.0+cvs20090716-1.1) unstable; urgency=low * Non-maintainer upload. * Initial release (Closes: #537227) What you want is to: * drop the debian revision of -1.1, and use -1 instead * drop 'Non-maintainer upload' * copy the value of your Maintainer: field as name/email of your changelog entry (the extra (malat) between the name and the address makes the difference as compared to the Maintainer field). 2) Missing build dependencies: cmake You may want to have a look at the cowbuilder package and cowbuilder(8) man page of how to create and use a clean chroot environment in order to test your package builds and find regressions. 3) Two warnings are still there: W: kwstyle source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.7.3 (current is 3.8.2) W: kwstyle: copyright-without-copyright-notice their resolution is broadly explained by lintian (from unstable). > > Documentation provided by the package is scarce: merely mentioning an URL > > for further reference in the man page doesn't count.
