Thank you for your quick and helpful reply. Please note that I am brand new to Debian packaging and the community in general (although I use Debian for a few years now), and excuse any mistakes and mishandlings on my part. > 1.

I wanted to do this in DEP-5, but I did not see Affero GPLv3 in the list of license keywords in http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/#index6h1 . Should I just use the GPL keyword, or should I specify at some other place that the license is Affero GPLv3? > 6. debian/README and debian/README.source can be deleted Fixed. > 7.

Sorry, I didn't realize at all that I should coordinate with Benjamin. Actually I didn't read the bug report through. My bad. Then again, I see that the original request was for the Zotero Iceweasel extension (which is what I have packaged), while Benjamin later refers to Zotero Standalone (another story) and his intent to package *that* when it hits beta. Nonetheless, I am sending a separate email to the bug report thread and to Benjamin. Maybe he would be interested in sponsoring this package, and I would be glad to help with Zotero Standalone too. One further question: should I dupload again the fixed and corrected package to mentors.debian.net, the same way I did the first time? And should the revision number be the same, or incremented +1?
