Hello, thanks for maintaining this package, but I have some notes/questions: 1) Please, use compat-level 9, your package builds in this case fine and removes "hardening-warnings" from lintian. 2) Changelog is the mess: a) A lot of "UNRELEASED"-words. b) Warnings due to bad formatting (use lintian for check). c) The last version in Debian is 1.3.8-1, but I cannot find it in changelog. Moreover there are a lot of versions, which have never been uploaded in Debian (1.3.18-1, for example). They should not be there. d) A lot of items in changelog, which should be in upstream-changelog, but not in Debian one. Please, move them to a appropriate file. Debian-changelog should contain only the Debian-stuff and changes. 3) Review your copyright-file according to a DEP-5. There are a lot of "unneeded words". This file should be short and machine-readable. 4) Where is it possible to download the upstream-tarball of this version? It is necessary to check md5-sums. 5) It is better to separate debian-folder and upstream-files and maintain debian-stuff somewhere collab-maintain or in a group. It is easier for reviewers/maintainers/DDs to do their job. But it is IMHO, Actually, why VCS-browser link is commented? The package seems in a good shape, but it really needs to be fixed before uploading. Most of stuff is easy to fix. Please, consider moving debian-stuff to a common place for easier maintenance and collaboration.
