I changed the field to Upstream-Contact: and put the contact address there instead of the authors (resp. maintainers). This is in the git yet; I will upload it in the next days to mentors.debian.net. > Concerning the calibration data, you may be able to save significant > amount of space by compressing them with cfitsio fpack utility.

However, fpack is (still) not part of Debian, so this cannot be done in the moment. The package is maintained by HEASARC <heasarc.nasa.gov/fitsio/fpack/>, and thanks to the current situation in the USA the web page is unreachable. Once they are back, I am considering packaging their stuff and then converting the calibration data. However, I doubt that this will squeeze all calibration packages enough so that they all fall under my self-defined limit of 10 MB. > PS: I still think these packages are to specific in purpose for > Debian, so this is no offer of sponsorship. I restarted the discussion about this a month ago in debian-science, and the response what only positive. Feel free to bring your arguments there. The base packages (cpl and esorex) have an popcon of ~175, which is quite a lot compared to other astronomy packages (ds9: ~260). And the only purpose for cpl, python-cpl, and esorex is to run these plugins, so in my opinion it makes perfect sense to package them as well.
