Bug#1067925: RFS: fastfetch/2.8.10 [ITP] -- Fastfetch is a neofetch-like tool for fetching system information and displaying them in a pretty way.
Hi Maytham,
Sorry for my late reply.
Yes. The debian directory was created for submitting fastfetch to my PPA of Ubuntu, and I want to keep it in fastfetch git repo before fastfetch is officially accepted by Debian and Ubuntu so that existing Ubuntu users can keep updating fastfetch.
Thanks for your interest. Personally, I am a Fedora user but I am not familiar with Debian. It would be much appreciated if someone could package fastfetch for Debian and Ubuntu users. However, Hiago said that he would take the ITP bug I submitted before. I think I'd like to wait his process first.
Regards,
Carter

Hi Carter,
It looks like the debian/ directory you have submitted is straight from upstream (which you have also written), and as such seems to be very lacklustre and aimed at Ubuntu.
Currently, the packaging does not comply with Debian Policy whatsoever; I recommend that you look at https://wiki.debian.org/Packaging for some basic understanding in (compliant) packaging.
I also recommend maintaining packaging for Debian in a separate repo; ideally on Salsa (Debian's GitLab instance) under the "debian" group.
If you would like, I am happy to provide a full list of problems with the current package.
I'm also interested in getting fastfetch into Debian, so if you don't want to try to fix the packaging, prefer if someone else maintained it in Debian, or want a co-maintainer, I am available :)
Kind regards,
Maytham
