RFC/RFS: griffith -- A film collection manager
Hello, We want to release Griffith v0.6 in about 2 weeks and I'm looking for a check of my package (and for future sponsor) It is lintian clean but linda returns warnings about having files in /usr/lib directory.

I don't see this package in Debian, but there is another similar package: gcfilms Gcfilms and Griffih are basicly doing same thing, but I think that they are very different.

"all" is not a package, it's a (pseudo) version, you can't use
"version (>= version)" syntax.
For arch indep packages use just "all" or ">= 2.3"
For arch dep packages, you need to add "any" part
("any", "any, >=2.3", "any, >=2.3, <<2.5", ...)
