Hi Innocent.

Please,

1. d/compat: change to 9.

2. d/control:
    - Explain me why the package depends of writer and draw to work.
    - Please, create a VCS to control your debian/ versions. You can
use github or other. So, add the Vcs-Browser and Vcs-{Git|Svn|Cvs} to
d/control.
    - Why your package is extra? It conflicts with other? If not,
please, change to 'optional'.

3. d/copyright: I didn't see any reference to Alain Hague here.

4. d/watch: dmaths isn't versioned in its site. So, you haven't how o
make a d/watch that works. Please, remove the content of the file and
add a explanation about it.

5. After the build, there are two wrong independent license files in
the package:

usr/lib/libreoffice/share/extensions/DmathsAddon/Fichiers/licence.odt
usr/lib/libreoffice/share/extensions/DmathsAddon/Fichiers/license.txt

You must add an override_dh_install to d/rules to remove these files ($ man dh):

override_dh_install:
        dh_install
        rm -f $(CURDIR)/debian/libreoffice-dmaths/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/extensions/DmathsAddon/Fichiers/licence.odt
        rm -f $(CURDIR)/debian/libreoffice-dmaths/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/extensions/DmathsAddon/Fichiers/license.txt

6. Now, remove the 'extra-license' lines from Lintian override file.


Thanks for your work. I will wait your package.

Cheers,

Eriberto
