Some comments on your package: You can basically strip all the comment and blank lines from the watch file.
You shouldn't need debian/manpages since upstream already installs the manual page. If you build the package twice in a row the following extra files end up in the diff.gz: capstats-0.12/config.h.in capstats-0.12/aclocal.m4 capstats-0.12/configure capstats-0.12/Makefile.in configure warning: configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --disable-maintainer-mode dpkg-shlibdeps complaint: dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libgcc_s.so.1 could be avoided if "debian/capstats/usr/sbin/capstats" were not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols). lintian complaints: P: capstats source: direct-changes-in-diff-but-no-patch-system Makefile.am W: capstats source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.7.3 (current is 3.8.3) P: capstats: no-upstream-changelog P: capstats: copyright-refers-to-symlink-license usr/share/common-licenses/GPL I: capstats: copyright-with-old-dh-make-debian-copyright I: capstats: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign usr/share/man/man8/capstats.8.gz:37 I: capstats: possible-documentation-but-no-doc-base-registration -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
