Thanks for your help. I have updated the package on mentors.
1. Done.
2.
- Done.
- Done.
- Done.
- My work is now on GitHub: https://github.com/Rudloff/lutris-debian
GitHub uses the same URL for browser and git clone, you should I still
fill both fields?
- You can manually add to your Lutris library any game that can be
installed on your computer (either natively or with Wine). Do you think
the description can be misleading?
- Are you talking about game platforms? I've added a list of those.
3.
- I am not sure I understand. It does use the 1.0 format.
- Where should I list the upstream authors? I don't see a field for
this in the 1.0 format.
4. For some reason, help2man adds this statement at the end of every man
page it generates. I removed it. I have also documented the different
ways to install a game.
5. Lintian was complaining that the package did not include any upstream
changelog so I added one from the upstream debian directory (oddly, I
only contained information about the software itself and not the
packaging). Anyway, I removed it.
6. I have added a generic README.source about quilt. Is this OK?
Please tell me if I did anything wrong. Thanks.

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]
http://sources.debian.net/src/yowsup/0.0~git20140314.938cf1-1/debian/control/
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

Hello,
Sorry, I thought it was better to reuse an existing package.
I have rebuilt it from scratch: http://mentors.debian.net/package/lutris
Here are the answers to your questions:
1. It does not use it anymore.
2. I have set it to 9, which seems to be the current level.
3. It isn't a game but a game manager, so isn't a man page enough?
4. It has one now.
5. I think it should be in main, as it complies with the DFSG and does not
rely on non-free packages.

Hi Pierre,
I checked your package and you are using/cloning the original upstream
packaging.
To put a package in Debian you must remove the debian/ directory from
upstream source code and generate a new tarball. So, you must start a
new Debian package. You can use some ideas from upstream, not clone
the code only.
I would like you to answer some questions:
1. Why the package is using CDBS?
2. What is the current DH level?
3. Where I can find the 'info' manual of the game?
4. Why the package hasn't a X-Python-Version field?
5. Your package must be main, contrib or non-free? Why?
If your want to put a package in Debian, you must have sufficient
skill to maintain this package and solve bugs etc. I suggest you look
at 'Debian New Maintainers' Guide'[1] and, after this, review your
package. If you have doubts, you can ask for help in Debian Mentors
List[2].
I wish a good work for you.
Cheers,
Eriberto
