The source code package seems not to be in perfect shape yet.
I don't know how upstream built the .deb, as I could not find
a ./debian/ directory nor could I compile the source code at
all.
This package should taken by a developer with some knowledge of
the Spanish language, as I would not be able to maintain a
software, where file and function names (and code comments and
installation instructions!) are not in English.
Maybe there should be a policy, that non-English source code is
not allowed in Debian, because it makes maintainance very hard,
e.g. in case the security team has to fix sth. and the code is
obfuscated by using non-English variable names etc. :-(
Cheers, WB
