Hi,
A couple of lintian warnings worth considering to fix:
N: Processing binary package slashtime (version 0.5.13-1, arch all) ...
[...]
W: slashtime: old-fsf-address-in-copyright-file
E: slashtime: description-starts-with-package-name
I: slashtime: description-synopsis-might-not-be-phrased-properly
W: slashtime: missing-classpath libjava-gnome-java
W: slashtime: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/slashtime
The run script (usr/bin/slashtime) is broken - I don't get the "cd /usr"
part and "exec /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java" will
definitely not work for an arch:all package. Furthermore I believe "$@"
is better than $* when it comes to arguments with spaces and such (note
the quotes on the first).
You may or may not be missing a short-name for the first "files"
paragraph in d/copyright. I don't remember my DEP-5 here, but you have
one for the second paragraph, so I assumed you forgot it for the first one.
