Hi! Great to hear from you! Let's get this done (ie, let's discuss what's missing):

The package can live outside alioth for it's initial upload if necessary, and we can move it in as soon a suitable group is created. > We have three issues still open on our bug tracker > (http://indefero.shaperstudio.com/p/mamedeb/issues/) and we thought we > would send the package to you or mentors.debian.net once they get > resolved. Your help / feedback is welcomed on those ! I see. 11. Comment out Mame rom downloading or move it in a separate package I think this is release critical. My opinion is: - move this stuff to mame-roms-free (if free means libre; if the licences are “free beer”, then I'd go for mame-roms-nonfree or just mame-roms) - get rid of debconf entirely, if you install the mame roms package, you will not get any kind of questions whether the files should be downloaded or not. The postinst will always try to do it. The package description will warn about this. (flashplugin-nonfree is an example of a package that does this). - add a Suggests: mame-roms-free to the mame package. I think this is the easiest and cleanest way of doing it. We should think if mame-roms-* should be in a separate source package, or inside mame's. The latter would make the mame-roms get installed every time there's a new mame version, while it's highly improbable the free roms will ever change again. I think it should be a separate source package, but that's up to you. 12. dpkg-shlibdeps sends warning This isn't critical at all. Using --as-needed is generally a good idea, unless it breaks things. I don't think it would break anything, but in any case, we can go ahead without this "fix" and add it in the future, if wanted. It's probably a trivial fix anyway. 9. Review what is needed to be sent upstream ( and send it ) This isn't release critical either. Of course, we should be doing it ASAP, but it doesn't block the upload in any way. I'm more than happy to sponsor the first upload!
