I believe these should be listed in the build-dependencies field, and shouldn't it depend on gvim?
According to the upstream author, he doesn't think that gtkmm and libglademm-2.4 are needed. I tested it, and libglademm is needed (and is listed in build-dependencies), whereas gtkmm isn't. Thanks for pointing out gvim, I'll add that as a dependency when I get access to my Debian box again (another ~10 hours).
I'm not that great at writing stuff, but I'll have a go at improving them. The upstream author's either going to write them himself, or ask for a doc writer on Sourceforge.Also Try to improve the long description and the manpage.
If it is the first revision of the package, the version should be '0.2-1' and not '0.2-2'.
It's actually the second revision, as I previously created a quick binary only package just to get a .deb out there. That can't be uploaded to mentors.debian.net as it's just a .deb file.
Another advice, after sending the RFS be sure that the package actuallybuilds and it's completely lintian clean.
It should be. It builds fine and is lintian clean both on my normal PC (sid) and in a cleanly installed sid chroot. Does it not build for you/ is it not lintian clean for you?
Thanks for the advice Harry
