I couldn't find your updated package on mentors, but the other .dsc is OK (I don't need the .changes file to review or even to sponsor an upload). > The only warning left is binary-without-manpage, as the source doesn't > seem to provide one at all.

You'd need to write a manpage :-). Given that thumbnailers aren't run by end-users generally, the manpage doesn't need to be very detailed; have a look at https://sources.debian.net/src/evince/3.14.1-2/debian/evince-thumbnailer.1/ for an example. If you've never done this before, try adapting evince-thumbnailer.1; I can help if necessary. Apart from that I'd prefer it if you could merge all your changes into a single changelog entry, so there's only an entry for 0.9.3-1, then the pre-existing entry for 0.9.3-0ubuntu1. > > Finally, it might be worth packaging this within the Wine packaging team, > > if you'd care to join us... > > I'm not too familiar with packaging teams, but that sounds good to me! > I'm open to collaborative maintenance. :) OK, great! You need to create an Alioth account if you don't have one yet (https://alioth.debian.org/account/register.php), then go to the Wine packaging team page and ask to join (https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-wine/ and look for the "Request to join" link in the right-hand column). To mark the package as team-maintained, you'd set Maintainer: Debian Wine Party <pkg-wine-pa...@lists.alioth.debian.org> in debian/control and add yourself in an Uploaders: entry. Once you're in the team you'll be able to create a git repository there for your package too. (But you can worry about that later if it's unfamiliar to you.) Regards, Stephen
