Paul,
Thanks for the feedback! I will try and resolve the issues you have
pointed out.
python-mlt is not available in Debian or Ubuntu, best remove it from
the depends.
python-mlt2 is now included in the libmlt2 source package, in Debian unstable:
http://packages.debian.org/sid/libmlt2
Will you also be packaging openshot-docs?
Yes, but I'm trying to focus on the openshot package first. If I
knew what I was doing, I suppose I would somehow package them
together. =)
Your Standards-Version is out of date, please read the
upgrading-checklist.txt.gz from debian-policy to find out what you
need to change to upgrade it.
Not sure what this is, so I'll do some research and try and fix it.
Please install the latest version of lintian from Debian sid, build
your package and run this command on the resulting .changes file:
lintian --info --display-info --display-experimental --pedantic
--show-overrides --checksums --color auto foo.changes
Will do. Thanks.
You are installing the desktop file and icon in the wrong locations,
please use /usr/share/applications and /usr/share/pixmaps or the
appropriate directory; /usr/share/icons/hicolor/res/apps/.
Will do.
I have the feeling you are doing something very wrong with the
maintainer scripts, can you describe what they are for?
These were created by someone else, who was trying to help me package
openshot. I will remove them, if they have no purpose.
Your orig.tar.gz ships with some binary *.pyc files, it should not do
that. I think using ./setup.py sdist would do the right thing here,
please use it in future.
Will do.
The Glade format and library is obsolete, please switch to GtkBuilder.
IIRC you can do this by opening the files in glade-3 and saving them
as GtkBuilder format.
I am in the process of replacing Glade with GtkBuilder at the moment.
Should be done soon. Hopefully.
There are a lot of images and architecture-independent files, you
should probably split them out into a -common or -data package.
In fact, the entire source tree is architecture independent.
Why are you shipping precompiled .mo files in a source package? The
.po files should be present at the very least and probably the .mo
file should not be present.
The gettext library needs the MO files, which is why I compiled the PO
files in the first place. i suppose I could compile them on the fly,
and only package the PO files. I'll look into this.
If you are using any embedded code copies, please remove them and
package them separately.
Not that I am aware of.
Thanks so much for your suggestions. You are the first person who has
offered any real advice to me. Now, if I can just find a Debian
sponsor. =)
-Jonathan

I reviewed this package recently and concluded that it needs work:
