RFC: jbig2enc -- JBIG2 encoder



Dear mentors,

I've been (re-)getting up to speed with my packaging skills and I have an
scratch to itch. I would, therefore, kindly request your comments on the
following package:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - -

* Package name    : jbig2enc
  Version         : 0.28+git0693dcd-1
  Upstream Author : Adam Langley <agl@imperialviolet.org>
* URL             : https://github.com/agl/jbig2enc
* License         : Apache-2.0
  Section         : graphics

 It builds those binary packages:

 jbig2enc        - JBIG2 encoder
 libjbig2enc-dev - JBIG2 encoder (development files)
 libjbig2enc0    - JBIG2 encoder (shared library)

 To access further information about this package, please visit the
 following URL:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/jbig2enc

 Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

   dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/j/jbig2enc/jbig2enc_0.28+git0693dcd-1.dsc

 I also maintain my changes in a repository in git-buildpackage form at:

   https://github.com/rbrito/pkg-jbig2enc

 More information about jbig2enc can be obtained from https://github.com/agl/jbig2enc.

Apart from lintian's binary-without-manpage/dh-make-template-in-source which
are about a manpage for jbig2 (I still have to decide how to proceed in the
best way with respect to this), are there any problems with the package?

I do *not* consider this package yet ready for primetime, since I'm not sure
what to do with the pdf.py script yet that it contains (it creates PDF files
from jbig2-encoded files).

The reason why I'm titling this to be a RFC instead of a RFS is because it's
been a while since I last packaged a package that had a library and my
packaging-fu regarding the last 5 or so years relative to libraries are
starting to show up.


Thanks in advance,

Rogério Brito.
