Agreed. A few words what origin resp. the origin file format is and it's difference to the dat file format would help. > In your control file you break lines after 60 chars, that's too early. > The hompage refernces should follow the current style: > Homepage http://www.example.com Use the following syntax to specify the homepage: long description... .

Only if liborigin-dev needs other -dev packages for successfully compiling and linking a program, that uses liborigin, they should be added. A good start to determine this list of dev packages is to examine the pkg-config file if existent (Look for Requires) or checking the header files of liborigin-dev, if they include headers from other -dev packages. (dpkg -S /usr/include/foo/bar.h helps) Besides from that I only glanced very briefly at your package. I noticed, that you install the manpage twice: One time using dh_installman, the second time copying it around manually. My preference is to list the man pages in debian/$package.manpages. You can also drop debian/liborigin-dev.dirs and debian/opj2dat.dirs. They are not needed. Cheers, Michael
