I had wondered... You are welcome to ask here on the mentors list if any
of the packaging problems are proving difficult to fix. Don't be
embarrassed - we have all asked stupid questions here, and learnt from
other peoples questions. Glad it was the Spam folder and not the too
hard basket :-)

OK. Looked strange to me too once Gianfranco mentioned it (especially
the sqlite library), but seems reasonable.

Sure. Once the package is almost ready for upload, I recommend joining
the Debian Multimedia Team and maintaining the package there (in their
git repository). I would be happy to co-maintain it with you. I will be
hoping that you get so good at it that you won't need much help after a
while :-)

Cheers,

Ross
