I don't see the tarball there...
maybe you want to ask Joey to upload it?





control/rules file: why do you b-d on quilt?

vcs-git
git clone git://git.kitenet.net/alien

alien-8.94/debian/.pc/.quilt_patches        1970-01-01 01:00:00.000000000 +0100

can you please strip the .pc directory? I guess it is useless.

please also if you have a native package consider to patch it directly instead of having separate patches.
(or a mix, like in this case)

BTW what about start maintaining it upstream too? :)

cheers,

G.
