Hello Daniel,
for the debhelper-but-no-misc-depends I am not sure how much useful it is to
send patches. If the maintainers ignored the warning, they will not be
interested by the patch. If the reason for not having misc-depends is that
there was no upload for a long time, then the patch will not be enough to
justify a new upload.
How about no-homepage-field instead ? This lets the users exercise with the
procedures of sending patches, and has some added value, as some homepages are
tricky to find.
Have a nice day,
