Specifically: * Why there are many separate ffs_* patches in debian/patches/? Where did they originate from? If they originates from upstream (FreeFileSync), why aren't they incorporated into upstream source code? * You are providing .desktop files under debian/desktop/. Does that mean that upstream author is not providing any .desktop files so that you have to write them yourself? * Please do not hardcode g++-12:native in the Build-Depends field. A sane environment should already have provided the proper g++. It could be g++ 12 or other versions. * You wrote Maintainer: B. Stack <bgstack15@gmail.com> in debian/control file, which looks falty to me. The maintainer should be package maintainer, not upstream software author, unless the upstream author (B. Stack) will be maintaining Debian package as well. * You indicated "Multi-Arch: foreign" in debian/control file. However according to https://wiki.debian.org/MultiArch/Hints#ma-foreign , M-A: foreign only applies to Architecture: all packages. Your package is not of Architecture: all. Thanks, Boyuan Yang
