Hi Markus, as I understood from #583862, you have found a sponsor for the package, right? Anyway, there are some technical notes on the package. 1) Use DEP-3 for patches (at least Description, Author, Last-Update). 2) Remove the fix-makefile.patch, which is not listed in debian/patch/series 3) Changelog-entry #2 is not necessary IMHO. 4) Compat 7 should be better changed to the newer 9 as well as BD in control. It will allow also to inject hardened buildflags. 5) Standards-Version is already 3.9.4 6) As I understood from #583862, there is already a VCS on collab-maint, add corresponding fields into control-file. 7) Use in debian/rules dh_auto_configure -- --prefix=........ instead of "configure". It should be more "nicely" 8) dh 9 sets the "correct" buildflags in many cases. Do you really need to set them explicitly? 9) Add --parallel option to dh for faster building. 10) The upload should be targeted to experimental branch due to a freeze-period.
