I studied the postinst and postrm script formats from bindgraph, a package I'm occasionally using for reference, given it's similar nature to queuegraph. > * debian/control: please make the homepage comply with devref > 6.2.4 until we get a real Homepage field: Doh! > * debian/rules: Please chmod/chown the installed versions rather > than the ones in the package.

I also prefer to be prompted by gpg, > export DEBUILD_LINDA=yes > export DEBUILD_LINTIAN_OPTS=-i > export DEBUILD_LINDA_OPTS="-i -s" These are very handy.
