Sorry, but no. 1.) If you update a package without new upstream release you must use the orig.tar.gz file that is in the Debian archive. Any upload using another tarball will fail to be accepted by the Debian archive. 2.) You moved upstream's changelog out of debian/ with the new upstream tarball. As said above the tarball in inalienable without a new upstream release version and thus this change cannot be accepted. 3.) shipping changelog as docs is not an required. dh_installchangelogs should catch it in default locations - unusual locations can be provided in debian/rules as argument. No need to add changelog as docs too. 4.) The patches altogether lack a DEP-3 header. Please consider adding one and especially feeding them back upstream to have them included and vanish from Debian packaging. 5.) Regarding taking over the maintainer ship. You should update the title of #588837 to read ITA. 6.) Updating debian/copyright to DEP-5 would be a bonus. 7.) debian/watch is empty. This makes comparing new upstream tarballs to your provided one quite tedious. Please update it to the correct upstream locations. -- Best regards, Kilian
