I am new at deb packaging. I think Neil's guidelines [1] is good and
reasonable.
I am not an DD nor an DM. I have not start my NM process yet.
I am not an experienced programer. I only know a little C and shell
programing.
Neil's guidelines is clear, simple, and helps new maintainers to keep
their packages good.
I do know some Debian official packages maintained by some DDs would
fail to meet Neil's guidelines.
It is their problem, not Neil's.
It is good for new maintainers to read the checklist [2] on Debian wiki.
Kind regards
