Hello, thanks for maintaining this package, but I have some notes/questions:
1) Please, use compat-level 9, your package builds in this case fine and
removes "hardening-warnings" from lintian.
2) Changelog is the mess:
a) A lot of "UNRELEASED"-words.
b) Warnings due to bad formatting (use lintian for check).
c) The last version in Debian is 1.3.8-1, but I cannot find it in
changelog. Moreover there are a lot of versions, which have never been
uploaded in Debian (1.3.18-1, for example). They should not be there.
d) A lot of items in changelog, which should be in upstream-changelog,
but not in Debian one. Please, move them to a appropriate file.
Debian-changelog should contain only the Debian-stuff and changes.
3) Review your copyright-file according to a DEP-5. There are a lot of
"unneeded words". This file should be short and machine-readable.
4) Where is it possible to download the upstream-tarball of this
version? It is necessary to check md5-sums.
5) It is better to separate debian-folder and upstream-files and
maintain debian-stuff somewhere collab-maintain or in a group. It is
easier for reviewers/maintainers/DDs to do their job. But it is IMHO,
Actually, why VCS-browser link is commented?
The package seems in a good shape, but it really needs to be fixed
before uploading. Most of stuff is easy to fix.
Please, consider moving debian-stuff to a common place for easier
maintenance and collaboration.
Cheers,
Anton
