About the short description, upstream author states that Wt is not a framework but a library. Since this seems important, maybe you should avoid the word framework at least in short description. In debian/control, Vcs-Cvs is oddly formatted. Moreover, this field is for Debian package managenement, not upstream CVS. You seems to hardcode a lot of libraries in Depends, I think this is not necessary: this is the job of shlibs:Depends. About debian/copyright, upstream ships a LICENSE file but does not tell if the software is licensed under GPLv2 or GPLv2+. You should tell upstream that a statement stating the actual license is necessary (as explained at the bottom of LICENSE file). More important, you add a patch to add OpenSSL exception. You should not do that. On what ground do you assume that such an exception exists? Upstream should add it in some file. The content of how_to_build_examples.txt should be put in README.Debian instead since this is Debian specific information. You can simplify debian/rules by using debian/witty-doc.examples, debian/witty-doc.docs. You might also want to use dh_lintian to install lintian override (look at the manual page, it requires a special version of debhelper). lintian override on witty-doc should be removed. You should remove those two extra licenses instead. You should use a patch management system instead of patching yourself. Such a system will handle cleaning for you (your package does not build twice in a row because you don't clean your patch). You can look at quilt that contains a simple line to add to debian/rules and two new targets to patch and unpatch. You can safely remove CFLAGS settings in debian/rules, this is now handled by dpkg-buildpackage. Your debian/watch is not working for me. You should use http://sf.net instead of http://downloads.sourceforge.net. Two more lintian warnings: W: witty: deprecated-chown-usage postinst:25 'chown -R www-data.www-data' W: witty source: debian-watch-file-missing-version -- I WILL NOT SPANK OTHERS I WILL NOT SPANK OTHERS I WILL NOT SPANK OTHERS -+- Bart Simpson on chalkboard in episode 8F14
