Your changelog has a spelling mistake ("postscrip"). More
importantly, it doesn't document all of your changes. We don't impose
penalties for more detailed descriptions, so feel free to be more
verbose. This is of great benefit to those who are not familiar with
the package. For example, you "use dpatch", but you could detail
exactly how you are using dpatch with a description of each patch.
What is debian/changelog.mine? You might want to take a more careful
look at the diff (read through it by hand; vim with syntax
highlighting is good for this), and remove any temporary or crufty
bits that shouldn't be there, and double check all changes.
- From my quick look at the diff, it looks like all of the autotools
stuff, and texinfo.tex and the info docs have been regenerated. This
was also in 4.2.1-12. If you didn't already, it might be a good idea
to regenerate them again with current tools to ensure they are
up-to-date.
Have you coordinated this with the QA team? The latest upload was
just 4 days ago. It's worth asking the developer who did that upload,
if you haven't already.

Roger
