I'm afraid I have some further remarks:
d/control:
- Thanks to Scott's explanation I think I understood now the dh-exec
mechanism and so I think you can remove dh-exec from the
Build-Depends
- Priorities: The source package should be "Priority: optional" and
only for the *-dbg package you should explicitly specify
"Priority: extra". The point is that priority extra packages will
be excluded from some QA checks which we do not really want in
general but actually debug packages should feature this "extra"
- Neat tip: You might like to check, how config modell using
cme fix dpkg-control
is formating your control file. I personally like this.
d/changelog:
You created a new changelog paragraph. For not yet uploaded packages
this is at best confusiing even if your *-1 entry claims that it was
uploaded to unstable (which it was not - at best this should be
"UNRELEASED"). Also the consequence of this new entry is, that the
ITP bug is not closed by an upload if I would upload as is. You can
easily verify this effect when looking at the tasks page[1] which is
not linking to an according WNPP bug (in contrast to for instance
liblevmar-dev). The reason is that only the latest paragraph of
d/changelog is parsed.
So my advise would be to *not* log your actual changes inside
d/changelog until we have *really* the first version inside Debian.
There is sufficient information inside the Git commit logs. Just
remove the 3.2.3-2 paragraph and it also makes sense to "target"
with 3.2.3-1 at UNRELEASED while leaving me as the sponsor the
task to switch this to unstable once I decide to upload. This
is (should be??) written in Debian Science policy document and
helps other team members to see immediately that a package was not
yet uploaded.
Regarding the SoB sponsering I told you I have added the *-dev package
to the relevant development tasks of Debian Science which can be seen
for example in mathematics-dev task[1].
Could you now please add an according entry at the SoB Wiki page[2] to
make sure you understood the mechanism I would like to push via SoB.
Kind regards
Andreas.
