control: owner -1 ! Hi Andreas,
let's review: 1) please use a machine-readable copyright file http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ 2) d/compat: please bump to 9 3) d/control: you might want to run wrap-and-sort to clean the formatting up, to bump debhelper to >=9 and to remove some already satisfied in oldstable version constraints. 4) d/rules: please prepend comments in overrides with a "tab" instead of spaces (vim is really showing them in a bad way) 5) d/rules: I do not see the reason for get-orig-source target. if uscan works, what is the pourpose of it? 6) d/rules: examples should belong to dh_installexamples not to dh_installdocs (unless I'm missing something) 7) d/rules: I would add something like "--buildsystem=pybuild" to the default dh call. 8) if the examples are the reason for the get-orig-source target, and if upstream ships them in a different source tarball, please then consider a package split 9) d/rules: mv debian/dblatex/usr/share/doc/dblatex/xhtml debian/dblatex/usr/share/doc/dblatex/html it is nice to current don't break existing installations, but I would instead create a symlink, rather than breaking the new installations (assuming some users might have compiled the documentation on their own. man dh_link might be useful there would you mind fixing the above?
