The maintainer field is always :
"Maintainer: Karl E. Jorgensen <karl@jorgensen.com>"
And the package is in the WNPP database is it normal ???

In the package that I have generate (on my laptop), there is only three
warning of lintian and I sent an email to Karl E. Jørgensen (seems to be
the creator of this software) to find the upstream source download site
and after answer close the bug #409825 of the BTS. I am waiting for an
answer...
Lintian Bugs are :
W: battery-stats: unquoted-string-in-menu-item
/usr/share/menu/battery-stats needs:2
W: battery-stats: unquoted-string-in-menu-item
/usr/share/menu/battery-stats section:2
W: battery-stats: init.d-script-missing-lsb-section
/etc/init.d/battery-stats
For references given in the mail of Sandro Tosi, I need more time to
read them and i have question about Debian Policy : is there any french
translation of Debian Policy document (i didn't find any on web after
goggle search) ?
When i will have an answer i will send my work according to Debian
procedure...
Thanks in advance
