Hi,
I had a look at your dh-fortran-mod package, and am quite sorry I missed
this until now :-/
I assume this is meant for ${misc:Depends} in the -dev package, right?

I was caught off-guard that I needed to list the *.mod files in
debian/<packages>.fortran-mod.
Can you explain why it cannot just scan debian/tmp (or rather
tmpdir($package)) I guess for .mod files recursively? Probably /usr
would be enough. Or is this following a general debhelper design
decision I am not familiar with?

OK, sounds good.
The only other question I have right now (and which we couldn't 100%
figure out at DebConf15), is whether Fortran90 (or even Fortran77)
applications break at run-time if the module version changes and/or the
created libraries are different depending on the fortran module version.
We thought it wasn't, but it's probably a good idea to make sure.
