What about http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=240091? There are patches for this issue. Please remove debian/dirs it's not needed as usr/bin gets created by the Makefile.

I only made a quick check cause I am very busy but here are
my comments:
- The standards version in control file is outdated, should be
3.6.2
- The address of the Free Software Foundation in copyright
file is old, new is: Free Software Foundation,
Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA
- the compatibily level is 3 (DH_COMPAT=3), this is
deprecated, use 4 or 5.
- remove unneeded comments from rules file.
- remove dh_installcron cause you install no cron files.
- same for dh_installinfo
Rest look ok
Kind regards
Nico

Yes you can create a preselect file with instructions, for example install from a list of packages after base-config. To use this preseed file you have to use a command line option in the boot loader. I have not all information in my head but have done this recently and can send you information as soon as possible.

Doing RFS on -mentors
Hi, to make it as easy as possible for purspective package checkers if you post an RFS on the -mentors list please put all parts of the source package in a directory (FTP or HTTP). The reason why I write this is the wmforkplob RFS. Don't put your package on a PHP site where the checker has to download each file extra because its not possible to access the directory on the webserver directly and disable directory listing. Normally I use wget --mirror --no-parent to get the source files. So if you do your RFS, enable directory listing on your server (or in package directory), post the exact link of every file in the mail so we can mark them and use wget or upload them to http://sponsors.debian.net.

Oh one moment you are right. I havent yet tried dget but is
dget just generating the file names by itself and downloads
it? If yes, would it fail if package is (buggily) a native
package?

P.S. I just will look at dget into the next days ;)

RFS: libstfl-dev
Hi, I am looking for a sponsor of libstfl-dev * Package name: libstfl-dev Version : 0.7 Upstream Author : Clifford Wolf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.clifford.at/stfl/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : structured terminal forms language/library STFL is a library which implements a curses-based widget set for text terminals. The STFL API can be used from C, SPL, Python, Perl and Ruby. Since the API is only 14 simple function calls big and there are already generic SWIG bindings it is very easy to port STFL to additional scripting languages. A special language (the Structured Terminal Forms Language) is used to describe STFL GUIs. The language is designed to be easy and fast to write so an application programmer does not need to spend ages fiddling around with the GUI and can concentrate on the more interesting programming tasks. The package is lintian, linda clean and builds fine in chroot. dget http://nion.modprobe.de/debian/stfl/stfl_0.7-1.dsc I would be glad if someone can upload this package for me.

That was not my point I also know this. But how should lintian know if the packager wants some field displayed verbatim if its not a field defined in the policy.
