Hi Thierry, the package looks well done, I only have some smaller points: 1.) Package description gimmie seems to be a replacement/enhancement of the traditional (GNOME) panel and it can either be run in standalone mode or as applet in the GNOME panel. This information is somehow missing in the description. 2.) The second paragraph in the long descriptions does not show nicely in aptitude. The separate points are not correctly wrapped and thus it gets a bit unreadable. 3.) python-support IIRC the recommended way to specify the supported python versions with python-support is debian/pyversions [1]. But as python-support also supports the XS-Python-Version field, you can also keep it as is. 4.) ./configure checks for a couple of python modules like gmenu etc, which are are not added to the the Depends list of gimmie. Could you elaborate on that? Should these python modules be added to the list of runtime dependencies? 5.) debian/copyright gdm-logout-action.c is missing 6.) inlined copy of libsexy gimmie uses a inlined copy of libsexy. I would very much prefer if gimmie could be made to use the system libsexy. See [2] for more details. Maybe you can also forward this information to upstream. If you can address the above issues, I'll gladly sponsor your package.
