Hi Jordan, (I'm CC:ing you this time in case you're not subscribed to the list.)
[...]The package is a Python app called CraftServerSetup that allows the user to create and manage game servers for the popular video game Minecraft.
CraftServerSetup seems to be non-free software. If so, it cannot be included in Debian. See the Debian Free Software Guidelines [1].
As a result of the app's choice in programming language, it does not need any building or compiling at all (so I have it as a binary deb file right from the start).
You must have a source package for inclusion in Debian [2], regardless of the app's build system.
If you're packaging a Python app, I suggest you learn from existing Python packages in the Python packaging team [3].
On the "New Packager's Guide" page I saw something about requesting sponsors with a certain skillset..?It's indeed just a suggestion. You may have more luck finding a sponsor who's familiar with Python packaging, as the sponsor has to review your package and feel comfortable uploading it.For that, I don't care very much. Just someone who is willing to upload the deb files to apt.
