Hi, Please see the second link in this Lintian tag description.
https://lintian.debian.org/tags/source-only-upload-to-non-free-without-autobuild.html I think hijra qualifies for auto-building. My understanding of the preferred process is: 1. First add the required field to debian/control 2. Do a binary upload of the package. 3. Ask for auto-builds to be enabled 4. After all that is done, the next upload can be source-only. If that sounds good with you, could you make the change and then bump the Debian version number? (There is no need to try to re-use the tagged version number; there are lots of higher version numbers we can use!). Thanks, Jeremy Bicha
