Hi again Philip.

Please,

1. d/copyright: remove build/ltmain.sh. This file needn't be put (read
the license).

2. d/libgtkspellmm-3.0-dev.install

   From Maintainers Guide[1]:

   Shared libraries are distributed as *.so files. (Neither *.a files
nor *.la files)

   [1] https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/advanced.en.html

   So, remove all .a and .la references. Remove the .so and make a
synlink to .so created by libgtkspellmm-3.0-0.install (create a
d/libgtkspellmm-3.0-dev.links file). (NEWS: after a debuild, I saw
that the Makefile created the symlink - check if is ok)

3. d/rules:
      - Remove the dh_install override.
      - Why you used '--enable-static'? Is possible remove it? I think
you can remove all override_dh_auto_configure.

4. d/libgtkspellmm-3.0-0.shlibs: what is the function of this file? I
think you can remove it.

Ignore it.

Ok. You must run 'debuild' and, after this, in the upstream code place, you use:

# dpkg-gensymbols -plibgtkspellmm-3.0-0 -Odebian/libgtkspellmm-3.0-0.symbols

After this, edit the generated file and remove all Debian revisions (-1).

Hum... These files have the same hash... Is possible delete one of
each double? If not, you can delete one and add a synlink or... Put an
override with a line explaining the problem.
