I don't mean any offense, but looking at the ITP and the libdc1394v2
package itself, I get the feeling that you are not completely up to date
with Debian packaging:
- There is no bug severity named "urgent", and ITPs should have severity
"wishlist".
- The way to ensure library packages don't conflict with older versions
is to append the soname to the package names, it should be
libdc1394-22 instead of libdc1394v2.
- Missing and incorrect Conflicts: entries in the control file for Debian.
Therefore I decided to use Peter de Schrijver's and my own packaging as
a basis for packaging 2.0.1. I'm adopting the packages from Peter de
Schrijver. I will include a -doc package and rename -examples to -utils.
If you have other suggestions I will be happy to hear them.
If you really want to maintain the Debian packages yourself, read all on
http://www.debian.org/devel/, read up on all Debian bug reports
regarding libdc1394, and try to become an official Debian developer.
Otherwise, I think it is better that you work on the library itself
instead of its packaging; I believe there is a lot to do to get
everything working with the juju stack.
