I just took a look at the package. Allow me my usual rant^H^H^H^Hhelpful comments: * I don't yet like the long description. "I hope this adds a little more fun to your desktop..." is probably true but I'd like to read a more technical description like "A flat style for KDE..." "Thanks to..." does not really belong there. "Please read..." - well, the I assume everyone who is interested in the walks and talks of the package will look into /usr/share/doc/... Telling the user about bugs there is probably not inspiring confidence either. :) I see that you took that directly from the kde-look.org page. But perhaps this can be stripped down. * Check the debian/docs files you install. A "NEWS" file which just contains "see README" is not very useful. The "README" is also useless because it tells the user how to install the package on non-Debian packages. One could argue about the "TODO" file... * You have probably lintian-checked the package. There is a warning "W: kde-style-comix source: source-contains-CVS-dir admin/CVS". Although you can do little about it you should talk to the upstream author to not ship CVS directories. That aspects aside I'd sponsor the package. Christoph -- Never trust a system administrator who wears a tie and suit. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
