I'm not realy good in anthing near the kernel, so a more experienced
sponsor would be better. (And I may missing the right environment to
test it, as most here is 2.2 or to importent to make such deep tests).
Some things I saw in the first look:
* The manpage:
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the kmut command.
This is a bit misplaces. Desription should describe the command,
not the manpage. The "This manual page was written" is also best
placed only at the end of the manpage.
I'd suggest to place a "be careful" early (perhaps NAME part) and
information about the supported kernels. (seems to need 2.4, if I
read correct)
* the package description
should describe kernels it supports and the danger of the changing
interface.
I wonder, if "Priority: extra" might be better than "optional"
* Strange .orig.tar.gz
It has another md5sum than the file described in debian/copyright.
(so filesizes and dates seem to be similar. repacked or is this
download-cgi there strange?)
* CVS-entries
The .diff.gz contains a CVS directory. This should not slip in there.
Hochachtungsvoll,
