I sent a separate mail about some warnings from cppcheck and
compilation. These might not be blockers, but the following is, your
package currently violates policy 10.1
Two different packages must not install programs with different
functionality but with the same filenames.
( http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-binaries )
In particular your package ships /usr/bin/ts, which is also present in
moreutils.
Note that conflicts are not appropriate to resolve this problem; it is
perfectly plausible for people to want both moreutils and task-spooler
installed.
Since your package is the new one, the obvious thing is for you to
rename your version. I leave that to you and Joey Hess (the moreutils
maintainer) to sort out.
