At the moment you are NMUing because your changelog tail doesn't match the Maintainer field in debian/control. Set the Maintainer to you to indicate that you're adopting this package. Lintian also complains that: P: roxterm source: direct-changes-in-diff-but-no-patch-system roxterm-config.1 and 1 more P: roxterm: copyright-refers-to-symlink-license usr/share/common-licenses/GPL I: roxterm: desktop-entry-contains-encoding-key /usr/share/applications/roxterm.desktop:2 Encoding (to see this output, run lintian with -IE --pedantic) They're not the end of the world, but you should take care of them if you can. I may be wrong, but you should probably test in your postinst what apt wants you to do (install, upgrade, abort etc). See /usr/share/debhelper/dh_make/debian/postinst.ex for an example. The summary at the top is useful. Blindly using 'update-alternatives --install' isn't very helpful in some circumstances. Your prerm script does do this check. -- Jonathan Wiltshire 1024D: 0xDB800B52 / 4216 F01F DCA9 21AC F3D3 A903 CA6B EA3E DB80 0B52 4096R: 0xD3524C51 / 0A55 B7C5 1223 3942 86EC 74C3 5394 479D D352 4C51
