Hi, Michael, I am not a DD, but maybe my 2 cents will help you to make your package better:
1. Why is it experimental-oriented? I have built your package with sid, and it builds normally. 2. It would be good if you add a "check" section to your package, if it is possible. Please, see eigen2 [1] for that. They start verification tests, but even if they fail, the packaging succeed. Also before tests they output cpu and memory information [2]. I do not know, will your tests will work on servers without GPU. But it is a good practice to add verification tests. Very interesting library! Probably, will test it for my tasks.
