Advice on a new package



Hello!
I'm interested in making a Debian package of my own software Fortuner,
homepage https://github.com/jnumm/fortuner . The software is a
modernization of classic UNIX fortune program. I think it falls under
the games category so I'm writing on pkg-games list, too.

Should I put this package on a VCS (preferably git, that's what I've
been using), on something like
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-games/fortuner.git ? How would
that be done?

The package has a Lintian warning: W: fortuner:
hardening-no-fortify-functions usr/games/fortuner. How should that be
treated?

And lastly, I've understood there is a freeze now on Debian Wheezy,
how does this affect to packaging a new piece of software? To what
distribution would the new package come?

Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Juhani Numminen
