Hi, Please run lintian on your package (lintian -iI --pedantic *.changes) and fix the numerous issues first. Many of them can easily be fixed (e.g. "dh-make-template-in-source" - if you don't need those templates provided by dh-make, just remove them), and you should aim for a lintian-clean package before sending out your RFS request. While you're at it, please consider providing a DEP-5 formatted debian/copyright [1], and include a debian/watch file as well. Also, I'm not sure if you've taken a look at bug #522196 [2] yet (I'm guessing you haven't, otherwise you wouldn't have filed a new ITP for Icecat); are you willing to maintain Icecat and to backport patches and fix security issues for all versions of Icecat in Debian, including future stable/oldstable releases? This can and will be a large amount of work for a package like Icecat, although a lot of the security-related work you'll have to do will have already been done by the Iceweasel maintainers.
