Hi
It mostly looks good, I only have couple of comments. You licensed the
debian packaging (incl. patches) as GPL-2. This means that upstream
cannot accept your patches without bumping their license to GPL-2, which
will make them less likely to accept patches from us. Personally I
would recommend using the same terms as upstream itself, but otherwise
please make d/patches/* under LGPL-2.1+, so they can take patches from us.
Secondly the license of rsyntaxtextarea (I hate typing that >.>) is
LGPL-2.1+ (it has the "or any later" clause).
As far as I can tell, rsyntaxtextarea has not been uploaded to Debian
yet, so debian/changelog should only be entry (only with the "* Initial
release"-line). Though if you have had it rsyntaxtextarea downloadable
from an unofficial APT-repository (e.g. a PPA) or your website, let me
know and we keep both entries.
Last, there is a new standards version 3.9.2 (lintian might not warn
about it because the date line in d/changelog is older than the release
date of the new policy).
