Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal
Hi guys! It would be nice if someone could upload "hashalot" for me
(a tool for securely reading a passphrase). This upload fixes a "must"
requirement of the policy.
The package can be dgetted from:
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/hashalot/hashalot_0.3-6.dsc
The changelog is:
* Document that only the first line of input is hashed, for people who
are looking for a general purpose hasher. Closes: #544165.
* Fix warnings from man.
* Replace debian/rules with dh.
* Use DEP-5 copyright format.
* Drop useless README and ancient NEWS.Debian.
* Upgrade the VCS to git.
+ ... including Vcs- fields (closes: #720265).
* Upgrade to policy 3.9.5 (build-{arch,indep}), debhelper 9 (hardening).
The big change here is changing old style packaging to a dh two-liner.
Thus, it's probably easier to review this upload as a new package -- but
thanks to dh, that's quite minimal work.
Meow!

A minor issue: your lintian override isn't actually being installed
(see dh_lintian(1) for the correct place to dump your override file in
debian/). It doesn't really matter though (what counts is that you've
added an explanation in debian/copyright, of course).
Just out of curiousity, since your diff includes patches, why not use
quilt / source format "3.0 (quilt)" (you've taken the effort to
modernize everything else in your packaging, after all)? It's entirely
up to you, but it does make it easier for others to review your
patches, for one thing.
Anyways, built, signed, and uploaded; thanks for your contribution to Debian!
Regards,
Vincent
