There are a few lintian warnings that you should fix: P: maxwell source: unversioned-copyright-format-uri http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5 W: maxwell: hardening-no-relro usr/bin/maxwell W: maxwell: hardening-no-fortify-functions usr/bin/maxwell P: maxwell: no-upstream-changelog W: maxwell: new-package-should-close-itp-bug According to debian/copyright, the entire source is GPL-2, but only maxwell.c has a header mentioning GPL-2 (and not even the standard GPL header); there's no copy of the GPL included in the package either. You should ask upstream to add license headers to every source file (including the man page), following the instructions in the last section of the GPL [1], and a full copy of the GPL in a LICENSE file. [1] https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html Also, the source of Maxwell.pdf is missing. Other than that, the watch file isn't working: uscan warning: Filename pattern missing version delimiters () in debian/watch, skipping: ftp://ftp.cs.sjtu.edu.cn:990/sandy/maxwell\.tgz I haven't looked any further into the package.
