Hi Kurt Kremitzki, many thanks for the package!
As the package is huge, I think review will take some time and probably some iterations. I will start on the review, but I hope that others will chime in. (I will not have enough time for a complete review today) - d/README.Debian.html I'm not sure if we want a html file as README.debian. It seems also quite outdates (referring to version 6.5). Its content is also covered by other parts of the pacakging (e.g by d/control), so I guess it should be deleted - d/README.source Same here, quilt is standard nowardays, so it can be retired. I'm not sure about the repacking part, but if that is still true, the package version would needs to be a -dfsg anyway. - d/changelog Please keep at Debian revision -1 until this is sponsored. But as this is a reintroduction of an old package, you will still need to record all the changes you have made to the old packaging. (There is also extra blank lines below your entries) - d/compat: Did you see if you can use compat level 11? - please add dep3 headers to the patches. - d/control - VCS-* are for the Debian packaging, not for the upstream repository. - Would be great if you could maintain the package on a git repo; you can use salsa.debian.org for it. Sofar... I try to dedicate some more time later...
