Hi Andres!

Two remarks about your recent warsow package:


* Alexander Schmehl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [070807 15:36]:
> Modified: packages/trunk/warsow/debian/changelog
[..]
> -  * Below is the changelog for the previous version which wasn't uploaded.
> -  [ 0.31.dfsg-5 changelog ]
> -  * Modified patch "fix_different_archs.diff".
> -    + Included line for Debian powerpc64 port.
> -    + Fixed powerpc CPUSTRING and ARCH to reflect uname -m output.
> -    + (Closes: 433671)
> -    + Fixed hppa CPUSTRING and ARCH to reflect uname -m on build machine.

You don't need to repeat the old changelog; you can use the -v option
for dpkg-buildpackage (or --debbuildopts -v... for pbuilder) to include
older changelog entries, too.

You use xmessage in the wrapper script, so you need to depend on the
package providing it, even if mesa-utils allready has such a dependency.
You can't be sure, that mesa-utils always will depend on the package.
Imagine mesa-utils drops it's dependency completly, or xbase-clients is
splitted in several packages, and mesa-utils depends on a subpackage not
containing xmessage.


Yours sincerely,
  Alexander
