By what you said I presume that I should put experimental in the changelog? but I'm sure that it must go in unstable, why it will not go there? >> > 3.

I'm not sure if I understood properly but does this means that I have to create a .tar.gz file with the debian directory inside? or just use some debian tools to put the debian directory inside? can you point me with the official documentation about this?

I used the opcion -L ">wishlist" I want to fix the wishlist bugs later cause I need to read more and don't want to stop the process while you review or help me with this package I can do other fix like the ones on wishlist =) The dget line for package with the fixes. dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/matrixssl/matrixssl_3.1.2-2.dsc Are you at IRC sometime in the day to chat about this and ask you a few things more faster? or you prefer the ml? Well, thanks for all your help it's so nice that someone help you with this things =) Regards,
