Please use the non- native package format. * debian/changelog: You wrote two changelog entries of the same version. That is unacceptable and must be fixed. * Debian Policy chapter 3.4 requires that "The description should describe the package (the program) to a user (system administrator) who has never met it before so that they have enough information to decide whether they want to install it. This description should not just be copied verbatim from the program’s documentation.". However, your package description are not even complete English sentences. Please rewrite them and correctly describe the function of the package. * debian/rules: Not using dh(1) sequencer for new packages with debhelper compat >= 9 is highly discouraged. Please read debhelper's documentations and see if it could be improved. * debian/changelog.in and Makefile.am: Manipulating debian/changelog from instructions outside of debian/ dir is highly discouraged and will certainly leads to package rejection. Please make solid separation between "upstream" source code and Debian's packaging instructions. If you have to manipulate and generate debian/changelog file when building, please do it in debian/rules. * debian/copyright: Your debian/copyright file is not following machine- readable copyright format as described in https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ . Please consider rewriting it. It is not a critical problem, though. Please consider fixing issues above or giving proper explanations before requesting further reviews. Thanks! -- Regards, Boyuan Yang
