Hi Samuel, Thank you for your time, actually the reviewers on mentors started only few days ago, it's the first time that I submit a package to debian, so pardon me if I didn't follow all the best practices. I think I have catched your point, as long as the package is going on on mentors it is redundant to work on it on your side, Thank you again, Best Regards, Carmix
