thanks for the info, I've contacted with Ted, the maintainer of
psk31lx, is there any avaliable new relase - hope he will answer
as soon.



Anyway, I've checked the source package of psk31lx on stretch:

$ lsb_release -id
Distributor ID:	Debian
Description:	Debian GNU/Linux 9.4 (stretch)

$ apt-get source psk31lx
...

$ cat psk31lx-2.1/debian/changelog 
psk31lx (2.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Initial release. (Closes: #772087)

$ cat psk31lx-2.1/debian/control 
Source: psk31lx
Section: hamradio
Priority: optional
Maintainer: Debian Hamradio Maintainers <debian-hams@lists.debian.org>
Uploaders: Milan Kupcevic <milan@debian.org>
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 9.0.0), libncurses5-dev, libpulse-dev
Standards-Version: 3.9.6

Package: psk31lx
Architecture: any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
Description: PSK31 terminal application with text-based user
interface
 psk31lx is a simple text-based terminal program with a built-in phase scope 
 and spectrum analyzer to aid in signal tuning. It uses a sound card to receive 
 and transmit PSK31 tone.


So looks like the avaliable source and binary packages are
differs (just fyi).

(And I din't find the source of the current stable package - the package site
is this:

https://packages.debian.org/stretch/psk31lx

the source points to here:
http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/psk31lx/psk31lx_2.1-1.debian.tar.xz

which is what I got through apt-get source, not the released
binary source (2.1-1+b1). This package contains an "empty"
changelog, there isn't any version history - how could I fix this
what you described?)


thanks, regards,
