Excellent, looks like you fixed most of the issues found in your last
RFS. There are a few more suggestions I'd like to make, though (some
of these are purely pedantic, however).
- debian/source/format should be updated to "3.0 (quilt)", not 1.0.
- The remaining lintian warning is generated due to the fact that your
Standards version is out-of-date; it's currently 3.9.2 (so check the
upgrade checklist, and bump it up in debian/control). Also check to
see if you're using the latest version of lintian, and if not, please
update it.
- Why priority "extra"? I'd suggest "optional".
- I'd recommend updating debian/copyright to DEP-5 format [1]. Not
strictly necessary, but seeing as DEP-5 is being more widely adopted
nowadays...
- There shouldn't be a "debian/copyright" entry in debian/docs. Please
remove it.
- I'd remove the boilerplate comments in debian/rules. Also, isn't
"common-install-indep::" a cdbs thing? I don't think that has any
effect in a dh style debian/rules, but I may be wrong about that.
Kind regards,
