(Closes: #NNNNNN)" where NNNNN is the ITP bug number. The version should be 20170925-1. There is no need to document changes between versions that never hit Debian - the package description in debian/control is too cryptic. I am unable to understand what the package does by just reading it. You should probably expand it a little bit, in particular explaining the meaning of the various acronyms. I did not try to build the package, so there may be other problems. Also note that I will personally not sponsor the package if it is not maintained in the Debian Science Team. If you want to do so, you should update the Maintainer field, read the Debian Science Policy, and move the repository to the Debian Science group on Salsa. Also note that, for sponsoring within the Debian Science Team, we do not rely on mentors.debian.net; we sponsor directly from the git repository on salsa.
