I am not a DD and so cannot sponsor your package , but I have some
comments.

What are its exact relationships to the scid package that already is in
Debian?  You seem to share a few files with it, and I'm not convinced
that it really makes sense to have both installed.  E.g. after
installing and removing scid2 I had to reinstall scid to get its
manpages back.

Uhm, really?  Your upload does not fix the scid package.

Why did you do that?  Don't you want to be the maintainer?  If not you,
who else should it be?!

Yes, remove that NMU entry.  But I noticed a few other problems:

Please add the missing newline.

Don't install that file.

Remove the preinst, it does nothing.

Apparently a backslash is missing at the end of line 5.
