Bug#919590: RFS: openliberty/18.0.0.4 [ITP]
control: tags -1 +moreinfo
Hi Michael,
As much as I'd appreciate your effort trying to create a package for
Debian, but I have to say the packaging is unacceptable.

The present packaging might be fine to third party deb package
repositories, but it doesn't meet Debian's requirements and there are
too many policy[1] violations.
For example, I caught many unacceptable lines in d/rules:
```
25 mkdir -p /home/travis/build/was-lighthouse/openliberty-rpmdeb/debuild/openliberty/debian/openliberty/opt/openliberty
26 tar -zxf ../openliberty-*.tar.gz -C /home/travis/build/was-lighthouse/openliberty-rpmdeb/debuild/openliberty/debian/openliberty/opt/openliberty
```
Long description is missing. Short description far exceeds 80 chars.
source/format being "3.0 (native)" is also questionable.
Please refer the documentations https://www.debian.org/doc/ for
guidance on creating packages in good shape. Thanks.
