Hi,
I'm not a DD so I can't sponsor your package, but I've taken a look at
your packaging and hope that the following comments can help you
improve it.
- The URL in the format-spec field doesn't work, and is also outdated
(DEP-5's latest revision is 174). config-edit raises an issue with
your copyright file:
$ config-edit -application dpkg-copyright -ui none
File of type has a syntax error in configuration file:
DpkgSyntax error: Invalid line 162 (missing ':' ?) : This program is
free software; you can redistribute it
- licensecheck reports that several of the source code files in src/*
mention an incorrect FSF address in their GPL headers. Consider asking
upstream to fix this.
- You have 3 separate patches in debian/patches/, but
debian/patches/series only includes 2 of them. If this is intentional,
consider removing the unneeded patch.
- debian/watch doesn't work.
$ uscan --report-status
uscan warning: In watchfile debian/watch, reading webpage
http://www.emma-soft.com/games/amoebax/download/ failed: 404 Not Found
- I'd suggest adding a versioned dependency on amoebax-data for
amoebax, e.g. amoebax-data (= ${binary:Version}).
- Why does amoebax explicitly depend on zlib1g(>=1.2),
libpng12-0(>=1.2.44), libogg0(>=1.2), libvorbis0a(>=1.3.1) in
debian/control? Doesn't ${shlibs:Depends} do the job for you? If
${shlibs:Depends} isn't giving you the right dependencies, that needs
to be fixed.
- Your package is lintian clean, but not pedantically so. I personally
wouldn't worry about the following issues, but some DD's may ask you
to remove data/dlls/ before they sponsor your package.
$ lintian -I --pedantic amoebax_0.2.1-1_amd64.changes

Once you've ready for the package to be reviewed again, don't forget
to add your package to the Debian games sponsors queue [1].
Kind regards,
