Ah, you need a sponsor. My criteria for sponsoring are a bit more restrictive than for NMUs, and I've had a look at the package, and some comments: - debian/copyright: You (or rather Brian Furry) mixed up license and copyright. After "Copyright", the names of the copyright holders should be listed. Usually these are the authors (but not always, sometimes e.g. it's the institution they work for). Ah I see, the copyright holder is again listed below the license text, it's Jan-Åke. So it should be: ,---- | Copyright: Jan-Åke Larsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | License: | | The source files for this package contain license headers like the | following one taken from dvi.c: `---- Furthermore, debian/copyright is inconsistently encoded: The first Å is UTF (at least my non-utf-aware terminal displays two characters), the second seems to be iso-whatever. - debian/control: The short description isn't good english, the program doesn't "convert PNG", but "convert to PNG". I would suggest "convert DVI files to PNG graphics". It shouldn't be a large problem to fix any of this, and otherwise the packaging looks very good, and I'm happy to sponsor it.
