A review of your package: copyright-questions.txt and ubuntu-bug-report-needs-packaging.txt probably aren't needed in the source package
Why do you override the maintainer-not-full-name lintian complaint? Please send the patches upstream. If you've already done that, please document that using DEP-3: http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep3/ 4 of the lines in debian/watch are unnessecary and can be removed. You are using dpkg-source v3 but still include simple-patchsys.mk from cdbs, please drop that. libhivex (but not libhivex-dev) needs to include the ABI number in the package name. Please read libpkg-guide and its two bug reports: http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/column/libpkg-guide/libpkg-guide.html http://bugs.debian.org/libpkg-guide You added several hardcoded library dependencies, please leave it to the shlibs mechanism to resolve them at build time. You Depend on "Perl", I think you meant "perl"? debian/changelog does not close an ITP bug, only a LaunchPad bug. debian/copyright misses some information, some files are GPL not LGPL. You might want to adopt DEP-5 for debian/copyright: http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/ pod2html complaints: /usr/bin/pod2html: sh/hivexsh.pod: unknown pod directive 'encoding' in paragraph 1. ignoring.
