Bug#686453: zfsonlinux packaging
I've done a quick review of spl-linux package in PPA, and overall the
package is in acceptable state on technical side, and here are my
comments:
1. Version number of upstream release needs to be mangled to something
like 0.6.0~rc12, because 0.6.0-rc12 is larger than 0.6.0, and 0.6.0.xx
isn't that easy to identify for users.
2. Recommend to clear d/changelog for uploading to Debian, it's a new start, :-)
3. Use compat 9 and Build-Depends on debhelper >= 9, this makes your
binaries in usr/sbin being hardened at build-time.
4. Architecture should be linux-any, as they are only intended for Linux.
5. Revise descriptions in d/control based on Carlos's current draft in ITP.
6. Update Standards-Version to 3.9.4
7. spl-dkms.postinst spl-dkms.prerm should be removed because they are
not actually used.
8. Add a dedicate paragraph in d/copyright for GPL-2+.
