I am new at deb packaging. I think Neil's guidelines [1] is good and reasonable. I am not an DD nor an DM. I have not start my NM process yet. I am not an experienced programer. I only know a little C and shell programing. Neil's guidelines is clear, simple, and helps new maintainers to keep their packages good. I do know some Debian official packages maintained by some DDs would fail to meet Neil's guidelines. It is their problem, not Neil's. It is good for new maintainers to read the checklist [2] on Debian wiki.
