For example you produce library packages (libghc-hasktags-*) when you are only interested in the resulting binary. Then the description is broken, there is little point in having "... | ghc" dependencies, the copyright is not in DEP5 form (see http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-haskell/tools.git;a=blob;f=template-debian/copyright;h=57900f5ae0e19e7abe9bee26984264b21f1742fb;hb=HEAD for a better example), and the watch file out of date... you shouldn’t be trusting random old blog articles on the internets :-) > I would be very thankful, if somebody with more debian-haskell experience > could package Just uploaded it to NEW. Maybe you can contribute a manpage (preferably directly to upstream at https://github.com/MarcWeber/hasktags)? (And as always I forgot to close the ITP in the changelog.)
