I am not a DD, so I cannot sponsor, but I tried your package, it
builds in cowbuilder, it's lintian clean. Linda says:

$ linda /var/cache/pbuilder/result/nted_0.6.2-1_i386.changes
W: nted; The menu file has section Applications, which is unknown.

Then I installed the package, and when I run it, I get:

$ nted
ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No
such file or directory

and a message gtk window:

"
Internal error detected: Error opening ALSA sequencer. Excuse the
program must be terminated :-((( Please contact
ja@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de
"

I believe it should be working, it's a note editing program, not a player right?

BTW, timidity file.midi works nice on my system, so nted should be too imho.
