Are you familiar with Lintian? Expectations for all uploads are that they're Policy-compliant, DFSG-free, and Lintian-clean. It's also worth reading the ftpmaster "Reject FAQ for Debian's NEW-Queue". First, file ITP (Intent to Package) bug reports for the two dependencies using their prefixed source package names. You will close these bugs in each package's first changelog entry. This is required. Yes, I was lazy and didn't file ITPs for cpp-utilities, qtutilities--even though I was working on them. Yes, I should have filed them. There is no need to file an RFS (Request for Sponsorship) for these three packages, because I've committed to reviewing and sponsoring them. You'll also need to do a formal copyright review which is (infamously) not fun for most people. I've already done the reviews on my copies, so if you'd like to skip this for these three packages, I'm completely ok with it and can just merge my work. Formal copyright reviews are also part of the basic skill-set for Debian packaging work. Part of this also requires identifying binary blobs, embedded copies, and assets of questionable origin. https://www.debian.org/social_contract https://wiki.debian.org/DebianFreeSoftwareGuidelines https://wiki.debian.org/DFSGLicenses Let me know if you prefer to do a copyright review on these packages, or save it for another time. Best, Nicholas
