The declarations aren't quite right; you don't need the years after "Copyright:", so simply Files: * Copyright: 2010-2012 Jan Nekvasil ... Also, did you receive the source by email, or did you download it from Ubuntu? The "Source:" states the former but it's the same in Ubuntu, so I'm guessing you need to change that ;-). > - Remove /usr/share/gconf/schemas from dirs file. > - Explicitly set source/format to 3.0 native.

The Ubuntu packaging is indeed native, as indicated by debian/source/format; but this isn't a native package (a native package is a package which contains software written specifically for Debian). I'd rather you changed debian/source/format to "3.0 (quilt)" and used 0.9.3-1 as package version; that would also avoid issues upgrading from the Ubuntu version of the package. (Copy Ubuntu's .tar.gz to gnome-exe-thumbnailer_0.9.3.orig.tar.gz.) Could you also fix the following lintian issues? * P: gnome-exe-thumbnailer source: unversioned-copyright-format-uri http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5 (The URI should be https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ currently.) * I: gnome-exe-thumbnailer: capitalization-error-in-description-synopsis Gnome GNOME * I: gnome-exe-thumbnailer: capitalization-error-in-description Gnome GNOME * W: gnome-exe-thumbnailer: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/gnome-exe-thumbnailer Finally, it might be worth packaging this within the Wine packaging team, if you'd care to join us...
