Hi Giulio,
- I don't think you should install AUTHORS; it contains a single name, and that information is in debian/copyright already. The NEWS file seems pretty useless as well. The README file is just plain confusing.Those files are not installed anymore. I just re-uploaded the package here: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/contrib/s/shotdetect/shotdetect_1.0.86-1.dsc
are you sure about the new upload? At leaset these files are still in the generated deb-file!? Thorsten
