I checked two of the binary packages (I couldn't find the source packages in my quick search) with lintian and the result was catastrophic: $ lintian freefem_3.5.1-1_i386.deb E: freefem: copyright-refers-to-old-directory W: freefem: postinst-does-not-set-usr-doc-link W: freefem: menu-item-creates-new-section Apps/math /usr/lib/menu/freefem:2 $ lintian libcorelinux_0.4.30-1_i386.deb E: libcorelinux: ldconfig-symlink-referencing-wrong-file usr/lib/libcl++.so.1 -> libcl++.so.1.1.0 instead of libcldbg++.so.1.1.0 W: libcorelinux: non-dev-pkg-with-shlib-symlink usr/lib/libcldbg++.so.1.1.0 usr/lib/libcl++.so W: libcorelinux: non-dev-pkg-with-shlib-symlink usr/lib/libcl++.so.1.1.0 usr/lib/libcl++.so E: libcorelinux: shlib-missing-in-control-file libcl++ usr/lib/libcldbg++.so.1.1.0 E: libcorelinux: shlib-missing-in-control-file libcl++ usr/lib/libcl++.so.1.1.0 W: libcorelinux: unused-shlib-entry-in-control-file libcorelinux $ There are surely more problems in the source (e.g. the /usr/doc symlink gets deleted in the prerm by the script that dh_installdocs adds but it isn't set in the postinst - that gives another lintian warning because of the missing #DEBHELPER# token in the postinst). > Recommendation: > > I strongly recommend Christophe as new Debian maintainer. Looking at the lintian results above I strongly recommend not to accept him at the moment because his packages are so buggy that I don't consider his Tasks & Skills check as passed. cu Adrian -- Nicht weil die Dinge schwierig sind wagen wir sie nicht, sondern weil wir sie nicht wagen sind sie schwierig.
