I'm hoping to help you improve the package and to learn myself as well. * d/changelog - Usually only the versions that made into Debian are listed here, so I'd collapse the entries to just one entry containing "Initial release" only. * d/control - The Vcs-* fields point to debian packaging. You should specify the branch in Vcs-Git as described in Debian Policy §5.6.26 [1] and add Vcs-Browser field, too. * d/rules - Most of those comment lines seem to be from a package template and could be removed. I'd keep just L29 which actually explains why something is done (and of course L1 which is the special shebang line). * d/README.source - In upstream README.md you tell Debian Maintainers to use the genorigtar.sh. Looking at Policy §4.14, I think README.source should also instruct to do that. * Paul Wise already wondered if libtgl should be separately packaged. The related Debian Policy bit is §4.13 [3] [1] https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-VCS-fields [2] https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-readmesource [3] https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-embeddedfiles Regards, Juhani Numminen
