Here's a quick review of your package: - what's the purpose of debian/mcron@GUILE_SITE@/ ? Please remove it. - in general, please be more verbose in debian/changelog. Stuff like bumping standards version, adding new build-deps, or adding/removing patches should all be mentioned. - latest Standards version is 3.9.5, not 3.9.4. - debian/make-test.patch is unnecessary, just include an empty override target in debian/rules (it's as simple as "override_dh_auto_test:") - debian/man-page.patch is the wrong approach as well; you should instead build-dep on help2man and generate the manpage post-build (instead of patching it in), e.g. by overriding dh_install or dh_installman in d/rules Regards, Vincent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
