I’m not a DD and thus cannot sponsor an upload, but here are my thoughts from having a quick look: 1. Your d/rules is fairly simple; you should switch to the dh(1) sequencer 2. You should enable as much hardening as you can[1]; if you do 1., you get some of this for free, but unless you have a good reason to you should add “hardening=+all” to DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS 3. Your Vcs-Git should be https://anonscm.debian.org/git/debian-science/packages/plotdrop.git (note the .git and lack of a trailing /), as given at the bottom of the cgit summary page Regards, James [1] https://wiki.debian.org/HardeningWalkthrough
