Bug#742309: RFS: libvarnam/3.1.3-1
tags 742309 moreinfo
thanks
Hi Navaneeth,
I saw your package in mentors.debian.org and it has several Lintian messages.
IMHO, to get a sponsor you must, at least, clear your package removing
all possible messages.
PS: to improve your Lintian, please, see http://bit.ly/lintian
Regards,
Eriberto
