I will add the webpage address to the debian/copyright.

That's right. There is just the usr directory. The application is actually located on /usr/share/daloradius Is this not ok? should there be other directories? You also built your package as a native package (no orig.tar.gz + > diff.gz). Right. I tried placing an orig.tar.gz tarball actually which contained the package but dpkg-source complained on some errors which I can't remember at the moment but at that time it seemed that I was simply doing something wrong. Please give the package some more love. Creating Debian packages is > unfortunately non-trivial. I did find it somewhat cumbersome to get this package as it is to build with as little lintian warnings and errors as possible. Though Debian-Love is always present in my heart :-) Since you are also the upstream I suggest you > ask a fellow Debian developer to create the package for you. Or file a > WNPP "bug" to find someone to create a package (`reportbug wnpp`). Uhmm, I will check the 'reportbug wnpp' indeed although I thought that this would be the place to get the package sponsored - i.e receiving help from a Debian maintainer/developer to help build this package and upload it to Debian's repositories. Regards, Liran.
