You can either replace those characters with whitespace or just shorten the description to the sentence I have suggested which is completely fine.

I guess the lintian checks are different on sid (I'm running > stretch)? Indeed the versions of Lintian differ from distribution to distribution. I strongly recommend to build everything in a sid/unstable environment where you also get the latest Lintian. The schroot [1] tool is very useful if you usually run something else than unstable. As for myself I run the testing distribution and use several different s(chroots) to build my packages. > I will fix those issues. Should I then use debian.mentors again?

We haven't used PET that much in our team so far. For us requesting sponsorship on debian-java just worked very well. I suggest to use mentors again for all initial packaging. As soon as we have completed this stage you can use the pkg-java Git repositories and mentors will become redundant. So here is the deal. I intend to sponsor your packages, if they are of the same quality as libjlargearrays-java. Though I suggest to prepare all packages on your local system before we start to upload them to Debian. To speed up the process you can also send an overview to this list, what and how many packages you intend to upload in the end. This should ensure that we don't accidentally upload packages which are not really needed or are already part of Debian with a different name. Regards, Markus [1] https://wiki.debian.org/Schroot
