It looks fine. I can't upload the package for you, but I do have some
comments which may help to further improve the package:
- Description: I don't like the short and long description. I realise
you didn't make it up but it's your responsibility now :)
| Description: brings the LaTeX power to Vim
| Vim is undoubtedly one of the best editors ever made. LaTeX is an extremeley
| powerful, intelligent typesetter. Vim-LaTeX aims at bringing together the best
| of both of these worlds.
| .
| We attempt to provide a comprehensive set of tools to view, edit and compile
| LaTeX documents without the need to ever quit Vim. Together, they provide
| tools like macros speeding up the edition of LaTeX documents, means for
| compiling tex files to forward searching .dvi documents.
| .
| This package also provides help to LaTeX in vim.
The short description doesn't really tell one what exactly this
package brings to Vim. The long description already does a bit better,
but I'd put the second paragraph first, because that's the one that
actually tells us what this does. The first paragraph is quite
redundant and I suggest you just drop it, or at least move it down.
Maybe change the short one to "View, edit and compile LaTeX documents
entirely from within Vim".
- You've made some miscellaneous changes but you didn't mention them in
the changelog:
* New upstream release
* Adoption of package (Closes: #307166)
For example: you've updated the standards-version, you've added a
dependency and made changes to debian/rules. Please make sure you
document all the packaging changes you make in your changelog.
- Standards-Version: you've changed this to 3.6.2.2, I'd suggest to
state just "3.6.2". The last part of the version number indicates
only textual/formatting revisions to the policy so it's not
significant for the package (i.e.: you never need to make changes
to your package between 3.6.2.2 and 3.6.2.3).
- debian/rules: for clarity, please remove the commented-out dh_*
commands.
- debhelper: you could consider moving to debhelper compatibility
level 5 (newest and recommended) but this is not necessary.
- debian/copyright: doesn't list the years of the copyright, please see
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/03/msg00023.html
Good luck with the adoption, and if you look at these points I'm pretty
sure that someone will sponsor you.
bye,
Thijs
