Hi there, and welcome to Debian packaging.

I am glad to see that you have noticed the ITP against mupen64plus
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=513322). However,
it's generally bad form to just hijack an ITP. Have you been in
contact with William Pitcock about this?

Your package also needs a fair amount of work. Please run "lintian -iI
*.deb *.dsc" on the debs and dsc file produced by building the
package. Also, please clean out all the *.ex and *.EX files that are
left over from dh-make.

Be sure to familiarize yourself with:

Regards,
Daniel
