Considering some of the question marks that have come up
regarding sponsored packages, I thought I'd create a little
checklist based on some of the things that I've seen go wrong.
I thought I'd bounce it through you all before I sent it on to
-devel.
http://wiki.debian.org/SponsorChecklist
Under General:
* Is the package lintian/linda clean?
* Does it build in a buildd pbuilder chroot?
* Does it build correctly a second time after cleaning?
* Does the resulting package install correctly?
* Does it uninstall cleanly?
* Does it pass puiparts tests?
* Do the resultant packages work? Have you used them?
* Does the package contain what it's supposed to contain?
* Does the .diff.gz look sane?
* Is the upstream source pristine?
* If upstream provides md5sum/shasums for the source, does the
signature still match?
