Check is out with lintian (if you run lintian against the .changes file it
points out packaging mistakes)
The README.Debian needs editing.
You seem to have created the debian directory twice, so there is a
spurious debian/debian directory.
If you take the upstream pristine tarball, and rename it to
korganizer_0.9.11.orig.tar.gz before doing a build, you will get a pristine
copy of the tar in the package (rather than the current one with the directory
name changed to korganizer-0.9.11.orig)
You need to get the author(s) to make a change to the license. The GPL is not
valid for binaries that are linked against non-free libraries. You should
contact the author and ask him to change the license to something like:
This code is distributed under the terms of the GPL, with the additional
permission you may link it against Troll Tech's Qt library and distribute
the resulting binaries.
Please note, this does not in any way affect the terms under which Qt is
distributed, which prohibit the distribution of modified versions of that
library.
Cheers, Phil.
