This looks like a package in which debian gis might be interested, I have added them in cc.
I cannot sponsor your upload, but will still try to review it. Some comments already: * I'm no legal expert, but I guess that while using google maps you are breaking their license. You should find out whether it is ok to distribute such a program in debian (perhaps debian-legal?). This should not be an issue when openstreetmaps/... is used. * Why is the package name mapcatcher? Wouldn't it be less confusing to use gmapcatcher, like upstream? * README.Debian; legacy.diff: remove these files * debian/control: last standards version is 3.9.0 - check if your package complies and bump the version Anyway, thanks for your work!
