Here are some comments:
- add FAQ to docs
- add CHANGES file as upstream changelog
- ITP bug will be closed by the first upload not the first packaging attempt
So the Closes should come in the topmost changelog entry.
- some licenses are BSD 3-clause some are BSD-2 and others are of the type
included in the debian/copyright file
- include NOTES file in docs
- include examples in docs
The package appears to be lintian clean.
Not so! :-(
There are Lintian errors in your manpage (hyphen used as minus sign).
The report is attached.
Regards,
Kapil.

N: Manual page seems to contain a hyphen where a minus sign was intended.
N: '-' chars are interpreted as hyphens (U+2010) by groff, not as minus

If you upload the package targeted to ‘unstable’, you must build and check it in an environment that is the latest ‘unstable’.

Hello, On Thu, 12 Mar 2009, Paul Wise wrote: This sounds very much like 'screen', what advantages does it have over 'screen'? Just quoting from the FAQ: * How is tmux different from GNU screen? What else does it offer? tmux offers several advantages over screen: - a clearly-defined client-server model: windows are independent entities which may be attached simultaneously to multiple sessions and viewed from multiple clients (terminals), as well as moved freely between sessions within the same tmux server; - a consistent, well-documented command interface, with the same syntax whether used interactively, as a key binding, or from the shell; - easily scriptable from the shell; - multiple paste buffers; - choice of vim or emacs key layouts; - an option to limit the window size; - a more usable status line syntax, with the ability to display the first line of output of a specific command; - a cleaner, modern, easily extended, BSD-licensed codebase. Some of these (preferably not just the last!) should be chosen and added to the package description. Currently upstream considers UTF-8 support to be in need of improvement.
