I looked into your package and have the following remarks: * Did you talk to the i3-wm maintainer, Michael Stapelberg, about his opinion on this, and also about ways how to avoid the conflict between the packages and instead enable it to co-exist? * Your Recommends is a bit too "fat" IMHO. I would suggest keeping all that stuff aligned with the i3-wm package, and leave everything else to the i3 meta package. After upload, you can then ask the i3 maintainer to include your i3-gaps package as alternative dependency in his i3 meta-package. * Please add a paragraph about what i3 is to your package description, not only the differences in i3-gaps. * Your d/copyright lists i3wm upstream as source rather than the fork, and also lists the original author as upstream contact. It should point to the GitHub source repo and list Ingo Bürk as upstream contact, While at it, please also look into whether Michael Stapelberg is the only copyright holder. At least Ingo's changes might be big enough to be separate copyrightable work. How did you verify the information you put into d/copyright? * I would prefer to have your packaging repository on salsa.debian.org. * Hmm, two almost exact copies of the same code in Debian in two conflicting packages? i3-gaps is a widely accepted fork I suppose, yes. What is Michael's opinion on that? Please go through my remarks and comment each of them with what you think about it, and whether you implemented it, will do so or won't.
