The reason for this is backporting. I do not really not debhelper 5 and as it is not part of sarge I sticked to debhelper 4. > > 3. I have no ral experience in packaging dynamic libraries.

I wonder what might be the sense of your debian/pycompat file. I have a python interface for the libraries (almost) ready, that I originally wanted to include in the package. But now I think it might be better to keep it separate from the upstream parts. This file is obviously a left over. Removed. > > 5.

I'm still not sure about this. While znz and niftiiio look pretty stable it might happen that fslio is undergoing major changes. Perhaps I should move this lib into a separate binary package. > All these remarks are more or less cosmetical - no reason to hold back the > package.
