Hello Samuel, I have a few comments.

While I can understand the convenient nature of this service, this is not really in the spirit of Debian to rely on proprietary services. I also understand that the wiki might not be the best fit to store this information given the level of details that you are putting into each package. I would suggest two alternatives: - either you opt to use a service based on free software like https://ethercalc.net/ - or you consider another approach for the wiki, maybe the table is not the correct choice, you might want one section for each package so that you can have a long list of information to associate to each package In any case, you should really put the link to the real-time spreadsheet in the wiki page for reference. Or maybe you should not go into too many details for each package. Honestly, what we really care about is: - the license, can it go into main? can it go into non-free? - the list of dependencies (including the same question about license) The fact that it uses an old debhelper level, has a few lintian warnings, lacks manual pages is not really interesting. Those will all be caught by lintian when we work on the package. > wig needs a manpage (i already committed the output of help2man, will > finish that this week). While it's nice to provide a manual page when it's missing, this is not a hard requirement. Packages can enter Debian without any manual page, the lintian warning is not a blocker. > PS.: I ended up discovering a problem with the kali's xsser package, which > depends upon debhelper >=9 and declared a compatibility level of 8.
