Hi Marc,

Thanks for wanting to improve Debian and I am sorry you had to wait so
long for a reply.

I have reviewed the changes and I got two remarks plus one suggestion.

The remarks:

 1) the changelog omits notable changes made since the last release to
    the packaging, such as the debhelper compat bump (which in some
    cases can cause significant changes) and the fact that the ABI
    changed (libzc3 -> libzc4).

 2) The ABI as changed and there is no a mention of it in the changelog
    nor this bug.  Normally, this requires planning a transition - said
    planning will be more or less formal depending on the number of
    reverse dependencies and is something the sponsor has to check for.


On the more positive front, since there are no reverse dependencies of
libzc, there is not much of a transition to do.  That along with A) that
the other changes omitted in the changelog are not user visible, B) it
appears to be your second upload, I have decided not to block the upload
on these remarks.


On the suggestion front: libzc does not require (fake)root to produce
the deb files.  Please consider adding "Rules-Requires-Root: no" to the
source paragraph of debian/control to indicate this.


I have sponsored your package as it is.  Once again, thanks for your
contribution to Debian and apologies for the long wait.  Feel free to CC
me directly on your next RFS on libzc.

Thanks,
~Niels
