I found a couple of issues in your package: - Your package does not build in an up-to-date pbuilder sid environment. Please test your package with pbuilder. - There are a couple of lintian messaged (info level). Although not warnings or errors it would be nice to fix them: I: vera++ source: quilt-patch-missing-description vera.patch I: vera++: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign usr/share/man/man1/vera++.1.gz:51 (and many more) I: vera++: package-contains-empty-directory usr/sbin/ I: vera++: copyright-with-old-dh-make-debian-copyright - The package contains a copy of cpptcl 1.1.4 from the same author (see the list archives for discussions about embedded copies of other libraries). Since cpptcl is not yet packaged for Debian I would accept this for now (in particular since this version 1.1.4 does not seem to be available from the project page yet). - debian/copyright: You should mention the GPL version for the Debian packaging (and adjust the link if necesary). - debian/watch: Does not work (use uscan to test). - debian/dirs: Remove /usr/sbin. - debian/README.Debian: Not really necessary since it just describes standard modifications to the build process (in contrast to reasons for repackaging the source for example). On the other hand, it does not hurt. - debian/changelog, README.Debian: Please update the date (dch -a). - debian/rules: Please remove the dummy comments and commented lines. - manpage: The first five occurrences of VERA++ refer directly to the executable and should be in all-lowercase. Please fix the layout of the OPTIONS section (have a look at other manpages). Please change the synopsis section to describe the basic invocation syntax (see other manpages). The man page should mention the location of the example scripts. - /usr/share/doc/vera++: Do not install README.Debian (useless for the binary package) and LICENSE_1_0.txt (contained in copyright).
