Hi Adam,

Thank you for your review.

I've hopefully patched all issues.
As per #827555 suggestion, I've changed package name to bytes-circle.

Greetings

Hi!
First, please file an ITP bug (via "reportbug wnpp"). This is no mere
formality, as it lets readers of debian-devel make comments with respect to
your plans.

debian/changelog:
* "This is my first Debian package." is a comment that doesn't belong in the
changelog.
* please "(Closes: #<ITP bug number)" to the "Initial release" line.

debian/README.Debian:
debian/README.source:
* please delete, there's no non-boilerplate content

debian/control:
* please set Standards-Version to 3.9.8
* typo: ascci -> ascii
* the long description could use some elaboration

debian/copyright:
* please delete the boilerplate comments, they don't apply
* [nitpick] Files: * already includes Files: debian/*

debian/rules:
* all commented out boilerplate other than #DH_VERBOSE = 1 (somewhat useful
as a reminder while debugging) should be axed
* you may want to uncomment some, though: hardening, -Wall

debian/circle/1:
* s/SECTION/1/
* again, s/ascci/ascii/

Otherwise, the package builds correctly and seems to work.

Please use "lintian" both on source and binary packages and address problems
it reports before uploading. Using "lintian -i" will give quite helpful
hints how to fix them.

Meow!
