Your package also FTBFS in a pbuilder chroot because upstream's makefile appears to call vim (therefore it should be a build-dep): ---8<--- make[4]: Entering directory `/tmp/buildd/clewn-1.14/runtime' clewn help tags file generation /bin/sh: vim: command not found make[4]: *** [help-tags-generation] Error 127 make[4]: Leaving directory `/tmp/buildd/clewn-1.14/runtime' make[3]: *** [install-data-am] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp/buildd/clewn-1.14/runtime' make[2]: *** [install-am] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/buildd/clewn-1.14/runtime' make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/buildd/clewn-1.14' make: *** [install] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: failure: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2 --->8--- You could simplify your rules file a lot with debhelper 7's nice shortening features, you have a compat level 7 already but don't use them. For example, you could use a clewn.manpages file and avoid calling dh_installman yourself, and rely on dh7 to be intelligent about it. See [1] for example rules files. Then when build problems occur it's much easier to see why. Note: once you've fixed these, most sponsors IME prefer to have the same version number uploaded again to mentors. Good luck finding a sponsor :) [1] /usr/share/doc/debhelper/examples/* -- Jonathan Wiltshire PGP/GPG: 0xDB800B52 / 4216 F01F DCA9 21AC F3D3 A903 CA6B EA3E DB80 0B52
