Good work! Some suggestions: * It should be possible to have TeXlive installed instead of teTex. It should probably depend on tetex-bin | texlive-base-bin or something. BTW, is it really necessary to depend on TeX at all? Can't this package be used without TeX, if you have a DVI file? Maybe you should just recommend TeX instead? * There are missing ending newlines in postinst and postrm. * You should use dh_installtex instead of running texhash manually (I think). Have you read the TeX policy in the tex-common package? Also see the dh_installtex(1) manpage. * Do you really need to create those directories listed in debian/dirs? * The configure script checks things by running kpsewhich and tex. These are not listed in the Build-Depends. You should probably try to hardwire these values, or, if you must, build-depend on TeX. * There are lintian errors. Please fix them. * The package is configured two times when using debuild (which uses dpkg-buildpackage). The problem seems to be the patch target dependency. You should probably move the dependency from the config.status target to the build target (before build-stamp). -- Pelle
