Id upstream does not ship it, you can do nothing with that. > W: dcraw source: package-needs-versioned-debhelper-build-depends 9 > > The lintian documentation says the following about this: > "Note if you are using a compat level, which is marked as experimental, such > as compat 9 in debhelper 8.1.3, then please override this tag." > > But I'd rather not override anything without explicitly being told to do > so by a sponsor. in control file: debhelper (>=9) > I: dcraw source: debian-watch-file-is-missing > > Upstream doesn't really have a precise location to watch.

If the upstream does not ship tarballs systematically, you can unlikely create a working watch-file. There is getsource script in the tarball. Did you check it, whether it works? > There are two more problems I have with this package: > > a) The quilt patch contains the files Makefile and configure, even though > those should be created automatically during package building from > Makefile.in and configure.in (which are also in the patch file). > However when I remove Makefile and/or configure from the patch, > then the binaries do not get build at all.
