Hi Nigel,

Please:

1. d/changelog: you didn't put an ITP reference. Please, read it[1] to
you see how to make an initial changelog.

[1] https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/dreq.en.html#changelog

2. d/copyright:
    - You need to add the section 'Files: debian/*' because you can
wish make a Debian revision without an upstream revision.
    - The information in d/copyright is different from upstream code.
There is a license file saying GPL-2. However, ppp-gatekeeper file
says 2008-2014 GPL-3+.

3. d/ppp-gatekeeper.dirs: remove etc/modprobe.d because
d/ppp-gatekeeper.install will create it.

4. d/ppp-gatekeeper.install: you are installing a file inside
/etc/shorewall. However, shorewall is a suggestion, not a dependency.
So, you must put contrib/start.shorewall in
usr/share/docs/ppp-gatekeeper/examples and write a d/README.Debian to
explain about how to use this file.

5. d/rules:
    - override_dh_installdocs: don't install AUTHORS as docs. This
information should be provided by d/copyright. I suggest to use
d/ppp-gatekeeper.docs ($ man dh_installdocs).
    - override_dh_clean: I suggest to use d/clean ($ man dh_clean).
    - You are creating/deleting a manpage.1 but the correct level is 8.

6. You have Lintian messages to solve:

W: ppp-gatekeeper: new-package-should-close-itp-bug
E: ppp-gatekeeper: description-is-pkg-name PPP Gatekeeper
I: ppp-gatekeeper: extended-description-is-probably-too-short

Thanks for your work.

Cheers,

Eriberto
