for _javascript_ dependencies, gbrowse use the latest ones. I can't
consider using the debian ones as I do not know exact gbrowse
requirements for those libraries. All I know is the current version
in use as they include it. One possible thing would be to upgrade prototype/scriptaculous to latest versions in debian repository. Should I use maintainers to upgrade it?

While it is perfectly valid to add the man pages via a patch (especially if you plan to foreward this patch upstream) I would consider it way more usual to move all manpages written by a Debian Maintainer to debian/*.1. So what you are doing is not really wrong but might not be the best idea (= just a hint, feel free to keep it as is). Lintian still show 3 missing man pages and some man issues in a few. Fixing man issue may be difficult as doc is extracted from perl files automatically (perl2mod I think or something like that). If lintian is simply nitpicking and you would like to provide the manpages that way you might consider debian/lintian-overrides to make sure these warnings will not hide other problems. With lintian 2.4.3 I get in addition to the manpage issues: W: gbrowse: embedded-_javascript_-library usr/share/gbrowse2/htdocs/js/prototype.js W: gbrowse: embedded-_javascript_-library usr/share/gbrowse2/htdocs/js/scriptaculous.js As lintian suggests you might consider making the package dependant from libjs-prototype and libjs-scriptaculous and add debian/links width usr/share/_javascript_/prototype/prototype.js usr/share/gbrowse2/htdocs/js/prototype.js usr/share/_javascript_/scriptaculous/scriptaculous.js usr/share/gbrowse2/htdocs/js/scriptaculous.js (Just did something similar with python-cogent).
I did it before I wrote my last mail.
Thanks for your packaging work (and sorry for the confusion I might have
caused when inspecting old code). Charles, could your please have a
look if you consider it ready for sponsering?
Kind regards
Andreas.
