Please compare and contrast auter with the other packages in Debian
for this task: unattended-upgrades cron-apt packagekit

Hi Paolo,

I cannot upload your package into Debian, but I suggest to look into at 
least these following items, which I think most potential mentors will 
be interested in. And, even after these, there will probably be yet more 
things to change, depending on the mentor.


* Why not Section: admin?

* The package should not be "native": please create a file in
debian/source/format with contents "3.0 (quilt)". More info at [1].

* Please fix the several lintian warnings (to see them all:
lintian -EviI --pedantic).

* When building the package I get:


dpkg-gencontrol: warning: Depends field of package auter: unknown substitution 
variable ${shlibs:Depends}


${shlibs:Depends} brings in dependencies on shared libraries. It should 
be removed since the binary package in question is "Architecture: all" 
i.e. architecture-independent.


* You could update to debhelper compat 10 as well.
