If you want to take over an orphaned package (maintainer "Debian QA Group") you are normally free to do so. The process of adopting a package is detailed in the Developer's Reference. I see you have found the WNPP bug. It's currently titled as if Daniel Baumann is planning to take it over. You should discuss with him who is going to be the maintainer (or use some kind of co-maintenance - I've found it to be very useful if a package is co-maintained by someone with "Debian knowledge" and someone with "upstream knowledge"). As with the specifics of your package the following: - You have put the debian/ directory into upstream CVS. This is no problem, but it must *not* be in any released tarballs. There's detailed information / discussion about this to be found in the -mentors list archives, but in short: this gets weird if someone changes the package within Debian without committing it to upstream (e.g. a later NMU). - Your package is "Debian native" while there's no reason to. You should make it a regular package, i.e. with an orig.tar.gz as it is released upstream, and a .diff.gz containing Debian-specific changes. Good luck with packaging! Thijs
