Well, I agree that the name is bit misleading, So i decided to change my package's name and I have renamed it as "Krickscore". I have updated all the source files and they can be downloaded from:
http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/~ae03b032/debian_packages/krickscore/
*The diff file*
http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/~ae03b032/debian_packages/krickscore/krickscore_0.1-1.diff.gz
*The orig.tar.gz*
http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/~ae03b032/debian_packages/krickscore/krickscore_0.1.orig.tar.gz
Any other comments regarding the package are welcome.
Thank You.
