That's better now. You seem to have choosen an outdated example for debian/copyright specification. I fixed this because it was the quickest way to deal with it. Please try to fix the example where you have drawn the outdated specification in turn. I had also a look into the debian/watch file. If you try $ uscan --verbose --report -- Scanning for watchfiles in . -- Found watchfile in ./debian -- In debian/watch, processing watchfile line: http://www.e-medtools.com/OMS_Hunspell.zip uscan warning: Filename pattern missing version delimiters () in debian/watch, skipping: http://www.e-medtools.com/OMS_Hunspell.zip -- Scan finished you see that something is wrong somehow. It seems that upstream does no proper versioning to their releases. On one hand this makes our versioning questionable on the other hand we will not be able to detect new versions. Now starts the non-technical part of the Debian packaging: Please try to contact upstream, tell them kindly about your intend to build a Debian package from their work and teach them about the reason to apply some proper versioning of the download file. For instance they could name the download file OMS_Hunspell-1.0.zip or something like this. In parallel it seems now the right time to issue the ITP (as you just asked previously). You can tell reportbug to CC this mailing list and it makes also sense to mention the Git repository where you did the initial work.
