Hi Francesco,
I've downloaded and taken a look at this package.
It still needs a fair amount of work before it's anywhere NEAR ready for
upload.
You need to write the manpage...what you have is still just the boilerplate
provided by dh_make. In fact, there's a LOT of boilerplate from dh_make
left over here. You need to go through the boilerplate, decide what you do
and don't need, and delete anything that you don't need.
The first line of the long description is exactly the same as the short
description.
Do all of those build-deps REALLY need to be so tightly versioned?
There look to be quite a lot of build-deps as well, are they really all
necessary? (for example, libpango1-dev *already* depends on libpango1, as
well as libglib2.0, etc).
/bin/sh: line 1: /usr/bin/docbook-to-man: No such file or directory
You appear to be missing a build-dependency (on docbook-to-man).
It's an okay start, but it needs quite a bit of work still to tidy it up.
After you've done the work, perhaps post to here again and we can do another
round of picking nits?
Cheers,
Stephen
