But I will neverthess do if you require. you don’t have to put a full comparison there, but the description is definitely too short. You should, for example, mention that it handles images correctly. > The problem with the linthian warnings is that lintian does not give out > these on my system.

You really should be able to run lintian on your machine. What version of it are you using? > What about the UNRELEASED in the distribution field? That should be turned to unstable as soon as the package is ready for uploading to Debian. I tried to build your package, but it fails: Configuring wb2pdf-4.3... cabal: At least the following dependencies are missing: hxt-http >=9, regex-pcre-builtin -any, url >=2.1, utility-ht >=0.0.5 Please make sure your package has sufficient build-depends by compiling it in a chroot (e.g. using pbuilder or sbuild). On the project homepage you write „The program itself is already larger than ubuntu, so installing ubuntu does actually not cause much overhead.“ What do you mean by that? The program source is barely 3MB large.
