Hi Dirk Su,

I cloned the git repo and for instance the debian/changelog is
confusing, there are many entries which makes me think that this package
is already maintained somewhere else, is this maintained in a PPA and
now you are trying to put it in the Ubuntu archive? When the package is
landing for the first time in the Ubuntu archive we usually have just a
single changelog entry.

The version string you are using does not seem correct. Right now, I see
version 1.2ubuntu3. This version string could be used for a native
package (something Ubuntu specific), but I see this a project from
Lenovo and it is maintained here:

https://github.com/lenovo/lenovo-wwan-unlock

I'd expect a version similar to 2.0.0-0ubuntu1 (version 2.0.0 was
releases 2 weeks ago in the repo above). So before the '-' we have the
upstream version. And after that, we have the Debian revision, since
this package is not in Debian, just in Ubuntu, we use '0ubuntu1'.

I did not read the proprietary license of this software, but in
debian/copyright you are using the GPL-3 license for the debian
directory. Could you make sure this is OK?

I am also unsure how to generate the tarball for this version, due to
that I was not able to build the package and run lintian for instance.
However, I think you already have something to work on. I am
unsubscribing ~ubuntu-sponsors for now. Once you address the issues
presented above subscribe ~ubuntu-sponsors again.
