I didn't know you were not sponsored.

I looked at your package.  I am an Emacs user, so I don't sponsor you,
that's why I post this to the list.
* Architecture: any
  You may mean "all" here; everything in the package is architecture
  independent.
* /etc/vimoutliner.conf is in the package, is a symlink to
  /usr/share/vimoutliner/outlinerconf/vimoutliner.conf , and is not
  marked as a conffile.  Are you really sure a user don't (and shouldn't)
  modify that file?
* The command ol calls perl scripts via the -c option.  I am not a perl guru,
  but I think you need Depends: perl .  Some say it is unnecessary if
  your script works with only perl-base (which is essential).
  Quoting the Perl Policy:
  | Note that the perl-base package is intended only to provide for
  | exceptional circumstances and the contents may change. In general only
  | packages which form part of the base system should declare a dependency
  | on perl-base rather than perl.
