Please read devref:
http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/beyond-pkging.html#mia-qa
libvisual-projectm is orphaned, so you don't need to contact anyone
for it. Just adding the libvisual-projectm binary package to the
libprojectm/projectm source package is enough for the ftpmasters to
autocruft remove the libvisual-projectm source package.
A new upstream release isn't appropriate for an NMU.
Are you sure upstream didn't change the ABI without bumping the
SONAME? Looking at the symbols, it seems that there are a lot of
symbol renames, deletions and so on. It looks like they forgot to do a
SONAME bump. There is a transition freeze coming this month, this
should probably wait until squeeze is released, or go to experimental.
Normally one would rename the libprojectm source package to projectm
and change its version of the packaging instead of starting from
scratch.
A review of the package itself:
debian/patches/debian-changes-2.0.1-0 needs editing and renaming.
Please forward the two patches upsream if you haven't already.
projectm-test could probably be dropped unless users would actually need it.
No need to distribute src/README since it is about compiling/installing.
Er, your source package contains debian/libprojectm.debhelper.log, how
on earth did you manage that???
Wow, upstream sure does embed a lot of external libraries, fonts. It
is not appropriate to do that, please ask them to split them out of
the main source tarball into a dependencies.tar.gz or similar. While
upstream still embeds them and to ensure they are not used by Debian,
it is a good idea to rm -rf the relevant directories before running
upstream's build system. If any of them are actually used in Debian,
please notify the Debian security team.
You might want to use debhelper 7 instead of cdbs:
https://penta.debconf.org/dc9_schedule/events/418.en.html
Please reassign #580559 to src:libprojectm and merge it with #565355.
It looks like the maintainer is already working on this anyway, see
#565355 for details. Next time you might want to investigate more
closely before duplicating work?

inappropriately overridden ones):

There are also a bunch of GCC and cmake warnings that should be sent upstream.
Please ask upstream to support QuesoGLC in addition to FTGL for font
rendering. GLC allows font fallbacks so you can render a string that
has characters from several different fonts. pango might be another
alternative.
