Hi,
I can sponsor this.
A few remarks, aside from the keyring change mentioned by Michel:
- all the doc build-dependencies (asciidoc, doxygen, help2man) can be
marked with <!nodoc> so that nodoc builds can be done
- are curl and fakechroot really needed to build the package, or are
they just used by self tests? if they are used only by tests, mark them
as <!nocheck>
- is pkgconf really needed instead of pkgconfig, which is the default?
- you need to add a libalpm-dev and ship the headers, pkgconfig file,
unversioned .so and manpage in it, instead of in libalpm13, and remove
the lintian override
- libalpm13 is missing Pre-Depends: ${misc:Pre-Depends}
- no need to specify the libarchive-tools and libgpgme11 dependencies
on libalpm13, they will be autogenerated
- does libalpm13 really need to depend on the binary curl executable?
- makepkg should not depend on build-essential nor on sudo
- no need to manually specify the dependency on libalpm13 in makepkg,
it will be autogenerated
- libalpm13 is missing the symbols file, you can generate it after
building the library with:
dpkg-gensymbols -plibalpm13 -edebian/tmp/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libalpm.so.13.0.1 -Odebian/libalpm13.symbols
- makepkg is missing a dependency on ${perl:Depends}
- are you sure all of these can run on GNU/Hurd and debian/kFreeBSD? If
not, use 'linux-any' instead of 'any' as the architecture
- it is not necessary anymore to specify the build system in
debian/rules, meson is autodetected
- use execute_before_dh_auto_clean instead of override_
- 228 tests fail when running in a pbuilder chroot, this is a strong
hint that the build might fail once uploaded
- you should try and fix the reproducible build, rather than disabling
it in the CI
- the GPL-2+ in debian/copyright says in the last paragraph:
"On Debian systems, the full text of the GNU General Public
License version 3 can be found in the file"
instead of version 2

Kind regards,
