thanks
Hi Lucas,
I will try help you. My considerations:
1. I can see some changes not registered in d/changelog. An example of
this is DH level change (from 7 to 9). I used the 'debdiff' command to
see the changes. Other files: debian/mirage.postinst,
debian/patches/remove_gimp_remote.patch, debian/pycompat
2. d/changelog:
- I suggest you to organize better the ideas. Try to use a logical
order. You can sort the itens by events (Added, Changed, Removed,
Updated, etc) or by main events followed by files (debian/control,
debian/copyright, etc). For the latter case, you can see an example
here[1].
- Please, remove the unnecessary double spaces.
- Use debian/<file> for all files inside the debian/ directory, as
debian/watch ans debian/patches/desktop_entry_issue.patch.
- Use '$ spell changelog | sort -u' and '$ spell control | sort -u' to
search for spelling errors, as 'Dependeces'.

3. d/control: you found a new upstream homepage to use in d/watch. So,
why you removed the Homepage field from d/control?
4. debian/copyright:
- The "updated" notice in d/changelog is a bit generic because you did
several modifications.
- I found this text in upstream source code:
mirage-Mirage is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
mirage-it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
mirage-the Free Software Foundation; either version 3 of the License, or
mirage-(at your option) any later version.
mirage.py-Mirage is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
mirage.py-it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
mirage.py-the Free Software Foundation; either version 3 of the License, or
mirage.py-(at your option) any later version.
So, the source code is GPL-3+, not GPL-3. You need to use the
following command to check this situation:
$ egrep -sriA25 '(copyright|public dom)' *
- There are several authors in po/ directory.
- You must to list all packagers in debian/* block. You can use the
following command to search for all:
$ egrep '(--|\[)' debian/changelog
5. d/watch: your configuration produces notices about invalid
character in version number (two underscores).
6. You must always check the PTS[2] to search for bugs, tips etc. In
bugs list I can see a relevant bug that you can close: #773997.

Thanks for your work.
