Hi Jelmer!
For bzr-avahi, there is a lot of things in diff.gz. I think there is a
packaging problem here, like using an unsynced orig.tar.gz. You should
only have modifications concerning debian/ directory in diff.gz.
I don't quite understand your answer to James Henstridge about 0.2.0
version. Where did you put your fixed version?
In debian/compat, you should put 5.
In debian/control, you should also add a Vcs-Browser field. I suppose
that there is some web interface to browse the source for Bazaar as
well.
I think that most things in Build-Depends are not needed for the clean
rule, so you can move them in Build-Depends-Indep (and just keep cdbs
and debhelper).
To avoid a lintian warning, you should provide a debian/watch file with
just a comment about, for example, the URL to upstream repository.
For bzr-stats, there is no statement about the license and I think that
the GPL mention in setup.py is a bit weak. You should arrange with
upstream to ask him to add a proper copyright statement in the
distributed files.
Apart from the diff.gz which is OK, the same remarks as for bzr-avahi
apply.
Well, this may be a bit late since some packages have already been
sponsored, but since all those plugins are rather small, you could
bundle them in a single package (like gnus-bonus-el for example). This
will be a bit harder to follow upstream since there is no mechanism to
track several upstreams but this will ease your work in finding a
sponsor, I think and will allow you to ship more plugins once you will
get an upload with DM field enabled. I am not sure this is something
encouraged or something to avoid. Maybe some people will give better
advices here about this.
