Here's my comments: - you still use debhelper 7. Any reason not to upgrade to 8? That version is in Debian stable and there's a backports.d.o too in case that'd be a requirement of yours. - There is no -dbg package. I guess you'll want to read http://wiki.debian.org/DebugPackage. Please add one. - Your -dev package description doesn't mention that you also ship the static lib (which is very good IMHO!). Please mention it. And if you can, please shorten the short Description line a bit. It currently wraps around on narrow terminals. - Please also include a symbols file for your library to watch over the ABI and to change the SONAME in case it's broken by upstream. Otherwise good work. Please try to get the above in shape so that we can put it into the archive. -- Cheers, Kilian
