Why is "Section: web"? if you want to mimik nmap, its section is net.

Please use a versione build-dep on cmake, since upstream clearly
requires "cmake >= 2.6" but for example etch has 2.4.5 .

What about add "graphical" to the description (just to clarify it's a gui)?

Did you run a spell check on the long description? from "menagement" I
can inferr you didn't ;) additionally the correct form is "to manage",
and other little glinches

Since you claim "Standards-Version: 3.8.0", you need to ship
debian/README.source simply with a simple text like:

> This package uses dpatch to handle patches against upstream source code; you
> can find additional information about dpatch at

Are you sure it's GPLv2+? It seems all the source code file (take
"./src/core/nmapParser.cpp" as example) are GPLv2. Use the boilerplate
from that file, and link to GPLv2 (and state clearly the version of
GPL you'd use for the packaging; hint: use the same of the source code
;) ).

Please leave the whole copyright line as

    Copyright (C) 2007-2008 by Francesco Cecconi

as (C) by itself has no legal value for copyright claims.

Personally, I like to see Upstream autor and Copyright written in a
new line and indented with 4 space (just like the GPL boilerplate is).

Usually you don't need to specify "usr/bin" in "debian/dirs", since
the upsteam intallation code takes care of it: is this the case too?

Did you submit the manpage upstream? Or Francesco send it to you to
avoid a new release just to add it?

there is a small typo in DP of
debian/patches/01_fix_desktop_entry.dpatch (and you can s/=// in DP
too).

There are some dh_* call not needed you'd like to remove: find out what :)

Please comment DH_VERBOSE.

Instead of "cd <dir>; $(MAKE)" you might be interester in "-C dir,
--directory=dir" make option.

Please merge "rm -f *-stamp" into dh_clean (they do the same job).


I think it's enough ;) Get back to me once you've prepared the new package.

Cheers,
Sandro
