Hi Mike,

First of all, thanks for looking at package!

Just a few notes:
- In the manpage, I would add an article ('a') between "gnome-specimen
  is" and "simple tool".

Done.

- In the manpage, still, most of the options (especially bonobo activation
  and gnome library options) are pretty useless.

Hmm. It is meant for advance user or developer. But, should I keep it
or remove it. I think there is no harm to keep it in manpage.

- I think you should build depend on python-dev instead of
  python-all-dev.

python-all-dev will make sure that all supported python version are
installed. correct me if I am wrong. python-dev is also ok in our
case.

- I don't really know cdbs, but i guess you can either put all your
  build dependencies in build-depends or build-depends-indep.

Build-Depends: cdbs, debhelper (>= 5), python-central (>= 0.5)
Build-Depends-Indep: intltool, libgconf2-dev, python-dev (>= 2.4)

Right? cdbs, debhelper and python-central are require for clean target.

I'm not confortable with sponsoring a package using cdbs, but if nobody
steps in, I will, since I'm very interested in having this in the
archive.

If you wish, I can convert it to debhelper, no problem :) Let me know,
I will upload corrected package.

Package with changes 1 & 3 are at:
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gnome-specimen/gnome-specimen_0.3-1.dsc

Thanks again.

Cheers,
