Hi!
Functionally, the program works nearly fine: only nit I noticed is runtime
icon missing.
You'd need to file an ITP bug, wait a bit for potential responses, and close
it via the changelog, Also, changelog for packages you request an upload
for should be marked for unstable rather than UNRELEASED -- that's a marking
meant to block packages in a state not yet meant to be uploaded.
The watch file should point at a wildcard that will match future releases;
you have a static URL for the current tarball.
The copyright file needs work:
* the vast majority of program sources include Karl Josef Klein
* images have external authors
* the "book"
The latter also appears to lack any sources. How does one build/edit it?
It's in some ".bin" format that appears to be a binary blob -- that would
be bad except that the code refers to it as "Polyglot". How does one deal
with such Polyglot files?
You don't need to list binary files in debian/source/include-binaries;
that's only for stuff that's changed during the packaging. Anything within
the upstream tarball is fine -- .jpg images are also binary, for example.
Meow!
