Well, the whole point of being a DM is that they are trusted to care for the package. The practical case here is Miriam, and I certainly trust her to upload only proper packages (and not just whatever happens to have been added by anyone to svn). But it might be good if Miriam would request the addition herself. > About the Homepage: field in the source part of the control file: If > this gives you a lintian error then your lintian is propably outdated. I didn't actually check, and would expect lintian to be updated by now indeed, perhaps it was back then as well. :-) > About the other things you mentioned I'm not sure if I can add anything > useful.

Yes, I wasn't suggesting to change the upload, I just wanted to make sure the things I found weren't forgotten. There is one thing I would like to know from anyone who knows, and that's the lintian override. I'll quote my original question: > There is a lintian override installed, which isn't documented in the > changelog. Why is it needed? (In other words, what rare situation do > you have here, which warrants an override instead of a lintian bug?) Thanks, Bas -- I encourage people to send encrypted e-mail (see http://www.gnupg.org).
