I just took a look at the package. Allow me my usual rant^H^H^H^Hhelpful
comments:
* I don't yet like the long description. "I hope this adds a little
more fun to your desktop..." is probably true but I'd like to read
a more technical description like "A flat style for KDE..."
"Thanks to..." does not really belong there. "Please read..." -
well, the I assume everyone who is interested in the walks and
talks of the package will look into /usr/share/doc/...
Telling the user about bugs there is probably not inspiring
confidence either. :)
I see that you took that directly from the kde-look.org page.
But perhaps this can be stripped down.
* Check the debian/docs files you install. A "NEWS" file which just
contains "see README" is not very useful. The "README" is also
useless because it tells the user how to install the package
on non-Debian packages. One could argue about the "TODO" file...
* You have probably lintian-checked the package. There is a warning
"W: kde-style-comix source: source-contains-CVS-dir admin/CVS".
Although you can do little about it you should talk to the upstream
author to not ship CVS directories.
That aspects aside I'd sponsor the package.
