Hi Kai & Raúl, As discussed on IRC I have uploaded your kvirc to unstable as I was pretty happy with the quality of your packaging and you seem to have a good handle on Debian requirements. One comment we did discuss on IRC briefly is your choice of Mercurial for the Debian component. Whilst I don't have any specific issues with Hg, it does make ways of working more difficult as kvirc is the only kde-extras package in hg and a lot of the ways of working such as checkin/ checkout building, taging etc are thus different to the rest of kde-extras. If you guys had a friendly DD working in hg with you this probly wouldn't be an issue, but given that kvirc needs sponsorship for upload to Debian I recommend that kvirc conform with the built up community of practice[1] around svn.debian.org for kde-extras. Again this isn't a comment on the pros and cons of a DVCS such as Hg, but rather what we know and are familar with working with. However the advantages offered by a DVCS I think are outweighed by using a toolset which we are not familar with in kde-extras. Of course some sort of a README-hg for kde-extras may address some of these issues, but I don't think doing kvirc a different way to the core makes a lot of sense for team maintenance.
