Hi Antonio,

thanks for your work on these packages.

I checked this and I can confirm that the package builds lintian clean.
Please use debhelper compatibility level 9 (instead of 8).  I also
wonder whether you could provide an autopkgtest as in pykdtree.

A less important hint: You can safely drop the .PHONY pragma in
debian/rules.  It works perfectly without this line.

I have verified the Debian GIS task remote sensing[1] to make sure
the package is properly displayed with data from your packaging in
Git.

I wonder in what Debian GIS task the package python-pykdtree might
fit.  For me it rather looks like some generig prerequisite for
other tools - but I'm not a GIS expert.  I guess it could fit into
some Debian Science tasks[2].  I'd be happy about hints where it
can be put.

No, Debian GIS Git is perfectly fine.  What I would require to let me
sponsor the package is a line at the Sponsoring of Blends wiki page[3].
My motivation to require this is to make the Blends concept more
popular.  Please feel free to ask if you have some questions about this.

Cool, I guess this would be really interesting for Debian GIS.

As a non-GIS person myself I do not have any priorities.

Kind regards
