I recommend you to use http://darcs.debian.org/pkg-haskell/tools/template-debian/ as a starting point and adjust the control, changelog and watch files. The rules should work for most libraries. Ah, but you are talking about a haskell program, right? In that case, some manual action is required. See for example http://darcs.debian.org/pkg-haskell/hlint/ Greetings, Joachim -- Joachim "nomeata" Breitner Debian Developer nomeata@debian.org | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Keyid: 4743206C JID: nomeata@joachim-breitner.de | http://people.debian.org/~nomeata
