Omar, thank you for pushing an updated version to the mentors site.
There are a few new issues:
13. Please change debian/source/format back to 3.0 (quilt) Also
change the version number in debian/changelog back to 3.5-1
14. Please add an extra blank line after the Initial release line in
your debian/changelog.
15. Please use Standards-Version 4.1.2 not 3.9.8
Please also handle this:
> 8. The override_dh_install rule looks unnecessary to me since the
> files appear to already have the correct permissions.
Finally, I am not willing to sponsor this until you get clarification
from upstream about #11.
Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha
