Hi Philipp,

thanks for fixing the package. Please find my comments below.

Great! It seems much cleaner now.

Understood. Please notice that as "python-rfid" is not in Debian yet,
there is no need for virtual packages there. Nevertheless I agree that
it's better to have package's name as close to the upstream's name as
possible.

It's true that Python 2 is going away soon. I suggest dropping Python 2
package it in favor for Python 3.

Some additional remarks:

1. Please separate the packaging of your project (the src/debian/
directory) and place it in a packaging repository on salsa.debian.org.
This is the usual practice now.

2. I see that the debhelper compatibility level and Standards-Version
are outdated. Can you bump them to 12 and 4.3.0, accordingly?

3. Your package build-depends on python3. It isn't necessary, as
dh-python brings it with itself.

4. Please add ITP bug number to your debian/changelog.

5. Is doc/RDM6300_doc.pdf your own creation, or taken from somewhere
else? In the latter case, please take into consideration possible
licensing restrictions on its usage.

Let me know should you need any help.

Andrius
