I find you uploaded bcache-tools to mentors.d.n, it works, this is an simple review: 1 linux-image-3.10-rc5-* is still in experimental, so I advice upload to experimental 2 Standards-Version should be 3.9.4 3 bcache is only available in linux world, so please set Architecture to linux-any 4 Description is a little long, please try to make it shorter. 5 Please rewrite debian/copyright to compliance DEP-5[1] 6 upstream file don't have copyright header, you'd better ask upstream to add a copyright header.
