You are welcome to add a README.Debian file if you want to say more about the project. - rather than putting TODO in debian/control, it is better have a seperate TODO file that will be installed by dh_installdocs - In your debian/copyright file, you should mention the license for your packaging. It would be a good idea to have a seperate header line for license and to explicitly say by each copyright holder (NAG, Axiom Team) what license applies (do they all use the BSD-like mentioning NAG, or are there variants?). - I'm confused why debian/open-axiom.png is listed in debian/source/include-binaries, but not include in the source package. Previous experiment? - Don't think removing the "compiled from" lines is needed, but it is your call. The shebang lines I agree should go. - at some point you should consider adding some metadata to your patches. I typically just use git-format-patch, but if using straight quilt you may want to look at http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep3/. Anyway I have to run, Hurricane Irene is making my power flicker on and off. d
