Re: RFS: ndpmon

["John R. Baskwill" <jrb28@psu.edu>]

Now that I have the correct version of lintian, things look better.  I have upload a new version of the ndpmon package.  I changed the version back to 1.4.0-1 because I was told I shouldn't change the version number if this was the initial release of the package.  Thanks for all of the help.

Renaming is fine. uscan will do that for you even if you ask it to --rename.

As you have a configure-based upstream source I hope you've put
autotools-dev in charge of keeping your config.* files up to date. ;-)

Then use the latest unstable or backports version. ;-)

Patches should have their headers in DEP-3 format. DEP-5 is for
