Bug#480096: New NTL package available

The extra stuff in the changelog is generated in the binaries only by my system for building packages from SAGE spkgs automatically; it'll disappear in the real upload.
You are right on priority; I'll fix that in the version I upload to Debian.
For copyright: the 3 spaces is what the dh_make templates have (my copyright files originated from them).
I don't have upload permissions myself, but will add you as an Uploader when I get it sponsored (which should be any day now).

Hello Tim
I've put a new version of my NTL package at <http://web.mit.edu/sage/apt4/pool/main/n/ntl/ntl_5.4.2-0sagep4.dsc>. 

Very nice, thanks!
This new version contains a patch that I've also submitted upstream to add versioning to the shared library. It now has no problematic lintian warnings and should be fully Debian policy compliant. 

Perfect.
I'd like to get NTL and the SAGE packages that depend on it into Lenny if possible, so I'd appreciate your reviewing and uploading this package soon. If you won't have time to do this in the next week or so, let me know and I'll upload it myself; I'd be happy to hand off maintainance to you later when you have time. Thanks, 

I also would like to have NTL in Debian because of one or two other programs.
Please go ahead and upload it (I don't have upload permissions).

Your package looks ok, but you need to change the changelog into just:
ntl (5.4.2-1) unstable; urgency=low

 * Initial release. (Closes: #480096)

I don't mind being co-maintainer, just add (right after Maintainer:) to debian/control: 
Uploaders: G?rkan Seng?n <gurkan@phys.ethz.ch>

You should also change Priority: extra into optional

Cosmetics:
The debian/copyright files usually have the tab set to 4 (not 3)

The rest is fine, thank you!

Yours,
G?rkan
