Thanks for clarifying!
The package looks pretty good, but there are a few rough spots left. Lintian
reports:
I: wavemon: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign usr/share/man/man5/wavemonrc.5.gz:78
I: wavemon: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign usr/share/man/man5/wavemonrc.5.gz:86
I: wavemon: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign usr/share/man/man5/wavemonrc.5.gz:87
I: wavemon: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign usr/share/man/man5/wavemonrc.5.gz:113
I: wavemon: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign usr/share/man/man5/wavemonrc.5.gz:133
...which are easily fixed, and would be worth sending upstream too.
As long as you're bumping the debhelper compatibility to 7, have you considered
switching over to a dh-style rules file as well? That would allow you to drop
the Build-Depends on cdbs and quilt, and bring the rules file down to a
two-liner:
%:
dh $@ --with autotools_dev
There should be a Build-Depends on autotools-dev. Right now it's brought in by
a Recommends: from cdbs, but it's better off being explicit.
When I build it, the documentation is duplicated in /usr/share/doc/wavemon
*and* /usr/share/wavemon. Not sure what's putting it in that second directory,
where it certainly doesn't belong; this is also automatically fixed if you use
a dh rules file.
