Hello François, In exaile-0.2.4/debs there is a binary debian package of python-gpod. At a minimum it's cruft, at worst it's a DFSG violation since we don't have the corresponding source. This should be removed. Exaile upstream seems to ship a complete copy of mutagen, the same version in fact found in the python-mutagen package in sid. This kind of duplication is a Bad Idea, not least of which because of the work it imposes on the security team if a vulnerability is discovered in mutagen. Exaile should depend on python-mutagen instead. Also, a minor point, but you should remove all of the unneeded dh-make cruft from debian/rules. If you can address these points then I'll sponsor you. -- Eric Evans eevans@sym-link.com
