Hi Gianfranco, as requested I've revisited the package.
Since 10.2.6 of budgie-desktop has just been released I've taken the opportunity to upload this instead of the 10.2.5 you have examined previously. I've had a look through and tested the revised packaging. Changes to the packaging - resolve the folder permissions issue that FTP masters failed the previous package on. I've had help from Jeremy Bicha to fix missing dependencies in the -dev package Other linitian issues addressed: 1. budgie-desktop: package-contains-no-arch-dependent-files 2. budgie-desktop-doc: capitalization-error-in-description GTK GTK+ and other similar lintian information issues in the other built packages 3. W: budgie-desktop-doc: non-standard-file-perm usr/share/gtk-doc/html/budgie-desk top-10.2.4/BudgieApplet.html 0664 != 0644 and other similar lintian warnings in other built packages 4. W: libbudgietheme0: maintscript-calls-ldconfig postinst - I've replaced the postinst with .triggers as recommended by linitian The puritan issue you pointed me at - I've incorporated the gtk-link patch that the upstream maintainer (Ikey) recommended. The remaining linitian issues: 1. no upstream change log - upstream does its change log via git tags 2. hardening linitian recommendations - as discussed with Paul Wise - if I attempt to apply any of the hardening flags this results in budgie-desktop not running at all. I strongly suspect once upstream completes the conversion to pure C in the future (data unknown), these hardening issues will be resolved (I believe this is a Vala issue).
