IANADD, and am reviewing the package as part of the NM process. My AM
may upload the package for you if he is happy with it.

Note that these comments are not necessarily complete - reviewing is
an iterative process and I will continue to make comments once you've
changed those which are mentioned below.

- Important: syx FTBFS in my up-to-date sid chroot:

mv doc/reference/html/extras doc/reference
rm -rf doc/reference/{html,latex,rtf,xml}
mkdir doc/reference/html
mkdir: cannot create directory `doc/reference/html': File exists
make: *** [clean] Error 1

- Minor: why these entries in the changelog when this is the initial release?:
  * Lintian #DEBHELPER# warning has been fixed

  * libsyx0 now suggests syx-doc and syx-gtk. Was recommending syx-gtk

- Your package lacks a debian/watch file, although this is not mandatory its
 highly recommended, because it allows automatic tracking of new upstream
 versions. Please see [1] and the uscan(1) manpage (part of the devscripts
 package) for details.

Thats it for now. Further comments will follow once you have worked on
these points.

Regards

Jeff
