Thanks for stepping up as maintainer for a new Debian package. 1. Your debian/changelog has a non-standard syntax (that might work though). Please put closes with initial release either in () or onto the second line without leading asterisk. 2. Debhelper compat is still at 7. Please bump to 8 as is correctly pulled in Build-Depends. 3. CDBS is no longer preferred. Please use dpkg v3 source style and debhelper 7 dh-style for debian/rules 4. Your short description lacks the information that this is a firefox/iceweasel extension 5. debian/copyright is not DEP-5 format. Please update. 6. debian/README and debian/README.source can be deleted 7. Most importantly I don't see a single bit of info that you coordinated this with "Benj. Mako Hill" <mako@debian.org> who set the bug to ITP this January. From what I see your name doesn't appear in the BTS at all for this bug. How come yuo now step up as new maintainer and Benjamin isn't even listed as Uploader? Thanks for clarifying. -- Best regards, Kilian
