Dear maintainer:
I tried to build this package in buster using dpkg-buildpackage -A
but it failed:

Looking at the code:
override_dh_install:
dh_install
lts=$(CURDIR)/debian/lua-hamlib2/usr/share/doc/lua-hamlib2/luatest.lua \
if [ -f "$$lts" ]; then \
rm -f $$lts; \
fi
it seems there is a missing ";" at the end of lts= line.
However, if you want to remove a file unconditionally no matter what, I wonder
why don't you do this instead:
--- a/debian/rules
+++ b/debian/rules

Or maybe it would be even better to use "dh_install -Xexcluded_file" in a
single line.
Thanks.
