... and did it today. A lintian clean test package for sid is available to download from http://q.bofh.de/~mh/debian/apg/, and I would appreciate if somebody could take a close look at the package and tell me if there are any serious packaging flaws or policy violations as this is my first package that I did without help ;) I'd especially appreciate if somebody could check the GPG signatures on the package since I have only recently become a developer and would like to see if everything is OK with my key. One more thing: apg can be built as a standalone binary and as a client/server version. Is it OK to have a source package that only generates a binary package for the standalone binary, or am I to generate three binary packages: apg, apg-server and apg-client? Thanks.
