control: owner -1 ! control: tag -1 +moreinfo Dear Félix, Thank you for your work to bring this new package to Debian. I can't sponsor the upload, but I hope this review is useful to you. I've split it into two sections: things that I would consider must-fixes before an upload to Debian, and suggested improvements. The latter aren't strictly necessary, but they would help demonstrate to a potential sponsor that you are committed to maintaining this package in Debian. Must-fixes ========== 1. You need to run `dch -r` again so that your changelog is up-to-date with your latest commit. 2. As I mentioned previously, please add patat to the Haskell team's package-plan.git and run the scripts provided to confirm that the versions of all the libraries package by the Haskell team are compatible with patat. 3. Could you confirm that the package builds with ghc 8, please? The Haskell team is working to have that version of ghc in stretch. Suggestions =========== 1. The header of your patch to the README needs some work. You didn't "update" the README -- that implies the patch should be forwarded, but it looks to be Debian-specific. Please add some explanatory text, or a better subject, explaining why you made the changes (e.g. "patch README for Debian"). Also, add a Forwarded: header. 2. You can fix all of these Lintian tags, except possibly hardening-no-fortify-functions. You should definitely deal with the warnings.

See the Makefile for keysafe[1] (not yet in Debian) to see how to pass the options, and the rules file for the stylish-haskell package to see how to do without CDBS. 3. Please run upstream's test suite during the package build. 4. The screenshot should probably be installed into /usr/share/doc/patat/examples. That should be enough for now!
