Hi all,
thank you for your hints. I'll update the synopsis as soon as possibile.
I know that I've uploaded the source code yesterday, but I'm working on it since about a month, in my free time. The project started as a personal program, recently I thought that it could be useful to other people. So, I'd like to share it with all Debian users.
Anyway, can you please guide me through this process? It's my first time. May I have some chances to get it published?
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Giorgio

When starting that Debian package, please follow the guidelines for the
package description.
For example:
frobnicator of grellicules
The test to apply is detailed in the Developer's Reference §6.2.2:
Technically this is a noun phrase minus articles, as opposed to a
verb phrase. A good heuristic is that it should be possible to
substitute the package name and synopsis into this formula:
The package ‘name’ provides {a,an,the,some} synopsis.
So, the synopsis “keep track of your favourite TV series” makes that
sentence:
The package ‘series’ provides a keep track of your favourite TV series.
This doesn't make sense, and so the synopsis should be re-written to be
a noun phrase.
