Hi Michael

Thanks for your contribution.

I have added you to https://salsa.debian.org/debian/uhubctl, so you can (if you want) maintain the packaging there. If so, please revert the the Vcs header change. I am willing to sponsor the package either way, but it changes how I perform the upload and who creates the tag. If you have no strong preference, I recommend using `debian/uhubctl`.

 * `Name` and `Contact` in `debian/upstream/metadata` are deprecated
   and replaced by `Upstream-Name` and `Upstream-Contact` in
   `debian/copyright`. Since you already use those, you can just remove
   those fields from `debian/upstream/metadata`

   (`debputy lint` says unsuported rather than deprecated, which is a
   bug in `debputy`)

 * The `Depends: @` in `debian/tests/control` is redundant as it is
   set to the default value. The field can be removed with no loss
   in functionality.




Best regards,
Niels




$ apt-get install debputy-lsp
$ cd source-root
$ debputy lint

Secondly, the `d/watch: Update watch file standard.` line in `d/changelog` seems incorrect now. As far as I can tell the `d/watch` file was replaced by add `Archive: GitHub` to `d/upstream/metadata` and `d/changelog` should ideally be updated to match. Some minor things noted by `debputy lint`[1] that you may want to consider (for now or later): In summary, please decide on the on the VCS and fix the `debian/changelog` and please follow up on the bug with me directly in CC/To. The `debputy lint` findings here are optional in my book. Thanks for looking at improving Debian. [1]: Shameless plug as I am the author of said tool. Whether you use it is optional. If you are interested, the quick start is: Note: Ensure `dh-debputy` (pulled via `debputy-lsp`) is from `trixie-backports` or `unstable` if you want to use the tool. If you do use it, you may want to use its editor support mode (https://salsa.debian.org/debian/debputy/-/blob/main/GETTING-STARTED-WITH-LINT-AND-LSP-FEATURES.md?ref_type=heads#editor-assistance-lsp).
