In debian/control you have: Description: Haskell binding for strptime with some extra features . Supports %OS for fractional seconds and %^[+-]Ns for seconds since epoch, for example %^-3s is milliseconds since epoch. The line with just a '.' after the Description should go. You should also probably add a paragraph explaining what strptime does before what you have whcih explains the extra features of the haskell binding. Also, the debian/patches/debian-changes-0.1.8-1 file doesn't look like it should be necessary or maybe just that it contains a lot of un-necessary stuff. Specifically, he patch seems contains the whole of what should be in the upstream tarball. Basically patch files in debian/patches/ should only contain patches that apply to the upstream source. Its usually good to keep these to a minimum. > What should I do now? :) Should it somehow get to > darcs.debian.org/pkg-haskell? Do you have an account on alioth.debian.org? Is so, you could put the debian/ directory of your package in darcs. If you don't have an account, I can do it for you.
