Hi Pierre,
Thanks for your fast reply. I will try help you.
1. d/changelog: please, use 'Initial release' instead of 'source
package automatically created by stdeb 0.6.0+git'.
2. d/control:
- Change the Priority from extra to optional[1].
- The upstream INSTALL file says that you must use Python 2.7.
So, change from 'python (<< 2.8), python (>= 2.7)' to 'python' in
Build-Depends and remove from Depends. The X-Python-Version field is
used to notify the system about the correct version to be used.
- The same problem with X-Python-Version. Use 'X-Python-Version:
2.7'. More details here[2].
- Please, create a VCS to control your debian/ versions. You can
use github or other. So, add the Vcs-Browser and Vcs-{Git|Svn|Cvs} to
d/control. You can see an example here[3].
- In short description, is right the afirmation 'any video game'?
Is it real?
- In long description, remove extra spaces in last three lines. I
saw in upstream site (GitHub) a list about some games that can be used
with lutris. To improve your long description and allow more people to
find your package via apt-cache search, I suggest add a list of
possible games.

[3]

3. d/copyright: you should use the 1.0 format. Please, read this short
document[4] and fix this file.
[4] https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/
Other comment is that you must to list all upstream authors and
licenses in d/copyright.
4. d/lutris.6: I asked: "Where I can find the 'info' manual of the
game?", because your manpage says: "The full documentation for lutris
is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If the info and lutris programs
are properly installed at your site, the command 'info lutris' should
give you access to the complete manual."
I would appreciate it if you put an example of installation of the
game in manpage (the complete line command).
5. d/rules:
- Please, remove all comments.
- Why you are installing a changelog from Ubuntu (made by
upstream)? Please, remove it and the file ChangeLog.
6. Add a d/README.source file saying about the changes need in
upstream tarball to generate the package.
Thanks for your work. I will wait your package.
Cheers,
Eriberto
