Hi Urmas, [should some of the Cc's get dropped? Maybe this should get redirected to [email protected] ? ]

The "Description: " in your ITP ends in a dot, and the section below it is a bit too terse. The idea is these will be used as Description and long description in the packages debian/control file. See https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-binary.html#s-descriptions for some hints. Of course, this can all get fixed later when you really start the packaging work. Thanks for your work & welcome to Debian Packaging! Bye, Joost
