Hi Aivar,
sorry for the delay… here's a quite a few thing to do ;).

I will look into this on Monday, the latest.

It's not bad - I just wanted to hear an explanation, and you provided a
good one.
Please only list those that cannot be auto-detected. For the others,
keep them in the Depends field.
The variable expansion is unconditional, so the dependencies will end up
in the list twice. While technically not a bis deal, it's very unclean.

Thanks.

Well, a licence text, just like eny other text, is a copyrightable work, under some licence.
But it's just nit-picking. Never mind ;).
But yes, do remove all licence texts that do not apply to your source tarball.

Yes. On git.debian.org, in /git/debian-edu/pkg-team, run
`setup-repository thonny "thonny packaging"`.
Then push everything there.
If not yet done, please get familiar with git-buildpackage and make your
repository work with it, including pristine-tar. (If you need help with
that, that is ok - but please try.)

Machines do get the hick-ups.

Great!
Cheers,
Nik
