Hi!
Here are my first findings:
* There's no point including debian/changelog before the initial release.
* Lintian overrides are bad: binary-without-manpage is a real problem
rather than a false positive (even if in some cases it's one with
little significance). If the binaries are never supposed to be run
by an user directly (not even by users who prefer command-line over
a GUI menu), they shouldn't live in $PATH, but otherwise, manpages
are wanted.
* The excuse for those overrides, that the documentation is available
online, returns "ERREUR 404 - Document non trouvé".
* Recommends: network-manager -- what's the point for a biff service
to mess with network settings?
* It crashes for me on startup:
[~]$ bubblemail
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/bubblemail", line 26, in <module>

File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/bubblemail/ui/settingswindow.py", line 38, in <module>

File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 129, in require_version
raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace)
ValueError: Namespace Secret not available
But, the package's description makes me want to see it working. I'm quite
fed up with keeping Thunderbird running as glorified biff for remote
accounts, and something better for that task would be nice for me.
Meow!
