Hi Martin, I've fixed all the lintian errors and warnings (except for the missing LSB section in init script). Nothing too drastic, but I moved some files around, so `patch' won't make all the changes I made...

That seems reasonable to me.

I can think of a couple solutions:
* A TIPC_INTERFACES variable in /etc/default/tipc
* Or, something like the current if-up.d script as a separate script
that you could run with the "up" and "down" options in
/etc/network/interfaces (see
/usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/network-interfaces.gz)

I'm not familiar enough to comment here, but it seems reasonable.

linux-kernel-headers installs the kernel headers to /usr/include, yes.
But your patch winds up adding "-I/usr/include/include" to CFLAGS. No
harm done, but not useful either--instead, I've removed the
"-I{KERNELDIR}/include" bit from CFLAGS.

As far as I can tell, there is no existing policy for this. Perhaps
it's best just to make sure the automatically-run scripts complain but
exit gracefully, for now.

Fixed by using dh_installinit. Since this involved moving the init
script out of debian/etc, I took the opportunity to move everything else
out of that hierarchy as well. Also, the if-up.d and if-down.d scripts
weren't installed with executable permission, so I moved their
installation in to the "install" target, and used the "install" program
to install them with 0755 permissions.
I've attached a "diff" (which, as I said earlier, won't be much use with
patch since files were moved around), and an updated .dsc and .diff.gz
against the .orig.tar.gz you posted earlier.
Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help!
