Couple of questions and (mostly easily fixable) issues though: * The lintian hits on the binary pkg deserve an override: X: python3-pylatexenc: application-in-library-section python usr/bin/latexwalker usr/bin/latexencode usr/bin/latex2text X: python3-pylatexenc: library-package-name-for-application usr/bin/latexwalker usr/bin/latexencode usr/bin/latex2text * Changelog: just the 'Initial release' line closing the ITP bug will do for a new package. That will probably also stop mentors from complaining about "Package closes bugs in a wrong way". * Control: why the old compat level 12? * Copyright: I did initially have my doubts about _uni2latexmap_xml.py being subject to both Expat and W3C, but looking at -legal you did your homework there and came to a reasonable conclusion. * Copyright: there's no mention of any copyright later than 2019 held by Philippe Faist, yet grepping the upstream sources shows entries as recent as 2021 for that person. * Rules: what is the override of dh_auto_clean trying to achieve? * Rules: the help2man target seems to require an installed package in order to succeed. Any way to make this work with just the extracted source package? If not, a comment documenting the requirement would be useful. * Tests: please add non-trivial autopkgtests, based on the upstream testsuite. Be sure to copy the tests out of the source dir and to loop over all supported python3 versions; there's plenty of packages on the python team repo that can serve as examples, including [1]. Please remove the moreinfo tag (and CC me directly) once you have an updated package ready. [1] https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/puremagic/-/tree/master/debian/tests
