I didn't know you were not sponsored.
I looked at your package. I am an Emacs user, so I don't sponsor you, that's why I post this to the list. * Architecture: any You may mean "all" here; everything in the package is architecture independent. * /etc/vimoutliner.conf is in the package, is a symlink to /usr/share/vimoutliner/outlinerconf/vimoutliner.conf , and is not marked as a conffile. Are you really sure a user don't (and shouldn't) modify that file? * The command ol calls perl scripts via the -c option. I am not a perl guru, but I think you need Depends: perl . Some say it is unnecessary if your script works with only perl-base (which is essential).
