Hi Jonathan, Please remove the package figlet 2.2.4-1 from mentors uploaded there at 2012-05-28 00:23, because having that package there is a form of re-distribution. http://mentors.debian.net/package/figlet Note that you can still package figlet for Debian, if you want that, but then the license problem must be solved before figlet can re-enter Debian.

.diff.gz of the previous package touches some upstream files. What
happened to this delta? (This should be documented in the changelog.)
I've re-added it now, and added a changelog entry.
I see you added makefile_set_debian_paths.patch, but this is not
mentioned in the changelog.
This is documented in the changelog now.
What's up with figlist_man_hyphen-used-as-minus-sign.patch? It's not
listed in debian/patches/series.
I've fixed this, and removed the now useless override.
- Update debian/copyright (closes: #436302)
You need to indent the enumerated list by an extra space. (Or
alternatively: make all lines of the list indented by exactly one space,
and then add (escaped) empty lines between the points.)
I've indented these.
- Fix moolets bashism (closes: #530082)
You introduced a dashism instead... Oh, and it you are at fixing this,
please also fix the security hole (insecure creation of temporary files).
Fixed.
- Move figlet manpage to alternatives system (closes: 403665)
I'd add a # here, for consistency with the other closes lines.
Fixed.
Shouldn't you use --slave here?
Yes, slave would be neater alright. I've switched to that.
- Add watchfile
Does ftp.figlet.org support only passive mode? (That would be very odd.) If
this is not the case, I would not put opts=pasv in debian/watch.
Yes, it only supports passive, hence opts=pasv.
- Remove references to depreciated figfonts(-cjk) packages
s/depreciated/deprecated/ maybe?
Fixed.

Hi Jonathan, The information in debian/copyright is not complete. One example is that Edward B. Hamrick is the copyright holder of inflate.c and the license differs from the one in LICENSE. The package contains material that must not be distributed. One example is that the file fonts/8859-3.flc contains a license contains a license which specifically excludes the right to re-distribute.
