Hi, the issue is that the first line of the description (the short description) doesn't give any information, it just paraphrases the package name and version (I know that libvarnam/3.1.3-1 is a library and that it's about Varnam with a 3). Something else: the mentor page is full of lintian warnings, you will have to fix those before any DD (I'm not one BTW) will sponsor your package. You may ask specific questions on the list on how to fix a specific one but in general the linked descriptions are quite helpful. Cheers, Eric
