Hi Samuel, you should fix everything lintian reports, even the pedantic ones. Sometimes it might become necessary to override lintian, but with the remaining ones in your package, I don't think this needs to be done: W: exposong source: empty-debian-diff I suggest you remove the /debian directory from the upstream tarball, as it is recommended here: http://lintian.debian.org/tags/empty-debian-diff.html I: exposong source: missing-debian-source-format This one is easy to fix. Simply add a file /debian/source/format containing the following line: 3.0 (quilt) P: exposong: no-upstream-changelog The tarball that is found at http://exposong.googlecode.com/files/exposong-0.8.tar.gz contains an upstream changelog (/CHANGELOG.txt). I wonder why your exposong_0.8.orig.tar.gz on mentors.debian.net does not contains this. If it would be in your tarball, lintian would be satisfied... BTW.: Your /debian directory contains some files ending with '~'. Those looks like some backups generated by your texteditor automatically. I suggest you delete those - or at least drop them out of your packaging...
