Ok, two problems.
Firstly, the changelog in indicates that the package is for the
development version of gopchop, however, you should only upload stable
releases to debian unstable (development/cvs/svn/etc releases generally
go to experimental), so do one of these:
1. In debian/changelog change the distribution from 'unstable' to
experimental.
2. Release a new stable release and package that for unstable.
3. Package the stable version (1.0.0 iirc) and get that uploaded.
Second, for the purposes of potential sponsors, you will need
a .orig.tar.gz and a diff.gz. This just makes it easier for them to
review. Please do the following:
1. Download the release tarball
2. Rename it to gopchop_1.0.0.orig.tar.gz
3. Unpack it
4. Copy the debian/ dir from CVS into the unpacked directory
(removing CVS dirs)
5. Build a source package - debuild -S
6. Upload to mentors.debian.net
7. Mail debian-mentors about it.
8. Read the debian-mentors FAQ about how to find sponsors if no-one
steps up.
