Hi Michael,

thanks a lot for your reply.

Lintian detects the package as orphan and then shows the warning. If I 
try to write
"QA (group) upload" in the first line (alone), lintian shows other 
warning.
I don't know how to avoid the lintian warning. What should I do? IMHO 
the lintian
warning message cannot be solved.

I am trying to do that.

Solved (both) in my sources. When the previous comments where solved, 
then I will
update the new package.

I cannot find the info to rewrite the debian/rules to 7.0
What are the differences? When can I found docs about it.

Thanks a lot,

best regards.
