Hi Arturo, thank you for your email. I wrote an email to the upstream developer, asking him to change a few things. :-) On 16.08.2016 09:47, Arturo Borrero Gonzalez wrote: > On 15 August 2016 at 02:23, David Rabel <David.Rabel@noresoft.com> wrote: > The Makefile.in.in file seems like a file that should not be included > in a binary package. > That file is usually used (wit just one '.in' in the name) to build > the [upstream] software package.

It is not included in the binary package, only in the source package. Still this leads to a lintian error. I also informed upstream about this, maybe he will just fix it. If not, it is probably OK to copy the Makefile.in.in of my intltool installation to the po folder. > Please, talk to GNOME people, since I'm not familiar with their environment. > > The dpkg-shlibdeps is a warning to take into account, but is not a > blocker for the package to join debian.

The source is still on launchpad. Only the launchpad project site is not updated anymore. So, the source code is here: [1]. The projects' site is not updated: [2] And the current tarball I had to pick from the ppa: [3] I asked the upstream maintainer to update the projects' site again, at least to put the tarball of the current version there.
