[Dmitrijs Ledkovs <xnox@debian.org>]

Hello Phillip,

Thanks for picking up this package.

Here are some comments

== ITP ==

The ITP was not sent to the debian-devel mailing list. Please use
report-bug in the future or add pseudo-header:
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org

Please forward your ITP to debian-devel.

== bugs ==

Bugs there were closed due to removing the package from the archive
should be still addressed. As bugs was the reason to remove the package
from the archive in particular:

== debian packaging ==

Fix the following notices from lintian:

> P: e2defrag source: unversioned-copyright-format-uri http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5
> W: e2defrag source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.9.2 (current is 3.9.3)
> W: e2defrag: script-with-language-extension usr/sbin/dump2inodes.py
> I: e2defrag: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign usr/share/man/man8/e2defrag.8.gz:123
> I: e2defrag: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign usr/share/man/man8/e2defrag.8.gz:129

> W: e2defrag: binary-without-manpage usr/sbin/dump2inodes.py

You can get more information about them by running lintian with:
lintian -i -I --pedantic -E -v *.changes

If you manage packaging in a VCS, please add Vcs-* headers.

== source format ==

Usually upstream makes tarball releases, which then can be packaged.
Please do, and use 3.0 (quilt) source format.

Bzr-builddeb has support for split mode:
http://jameswestby.net/bzr/builddeb/user_manual/split.html

Or you can use:
bzr export -rtag:0.80 --per-file-timestamps e2defrag-0.80.tar.gz

To create a tarball which will always have the same checksum.

I would like you to consider stop using native package version and
instead make 0.80 release and package it as 0.80-1.
