You know what an NMU is? If not, read the respective parts of the Developer's Reference. I don't know what's the cause in your particular case (and didn't download the package). But it seems that lintian thinks this will be a non-maintainer-upload - perhaps because names in debian/changelog and debian/control don't match? Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster, Biozentrum der Univ.
