I'd either put a "dh_testdir" check in place if you don't want to make sure you can pull in the new file with `dirname $0` or just use the latter to make sure you refrence the same directory your rules file is in and build the new tarball in /tmp and then move it to the current working directory as per Debian Policy. > > 2.

You had put up a version on mentors.d.n which had a 1.0.20+dfsg-2 entry labelled as if it was uploaded to unstable yet the dak doesn't show any such version ever made it. Thus I've made it a cumulative upload with "dpkg-buildpackage -v1.0.20+dfsg-1" covering both entries as opposed to only the newest one which would be the default. > > 3.

As said, there's nothing wrong with what you have. No offense intended. It was just a remark that there's DEP-3 out there and may come in handy but if you already use git-format-patch that's fine, too! -- Best regards, Kilian
