Hi Thomas, You're more likely to get an answer if you use the debian-devel-games@lists.debian.org mailing list (cc'ed).

I'd say the spelling-error-in-binary errors and possible package-contains-empty-directory, the latter at least if speed-dreams needs the directories to exist (i.e. it doesn't create them as needed). > The manpages are shipped by upstream, but they seem to contain > errors. hyphen-used-as-minus-sign is usually easy to fix; manpage-has-errors-from-man may be harder, I haven't looked in detail at the error you're getting. It's often worth fixing these errors (and sending a patch upstream)! > A lot of the docs are tutorials about the game. Must I register > them?

Simply delete them at the end of your binary target, after calling speed-dreams installation routine; they'll be in debian/speed-dreams/usr/share/games/speed-dreams etc. Regards, and thanks for your packaging work, Stephen
