Sorry, sending the message again because I forgot to cc debian-ment...@lists.debian.org.
Hello, I have managed to get rid of the dpkg-shlibdeps warning by using the flag '-Wl,--as-needed'. I have also solved the autogen.sh problem by overriding dh_clean like this: override_dh_clean: dh_clean ./autogen.sh I couldn't use the --autoconf and --automake flags of dh as you suggested because my package also needs gettext (and a couple of other things) to be run. The only problems (at least as far as I can tell) left right now are that autogen.sh asks for user input when running (this is because of gettext) and I'm not sure if this is allowed, that a pretty big patchfile gets created because of the extra files that autogen.sh creates and that there are a couple of warnings left: dpkg-source: warning: newly created empty file 'intltool-extract.in' will not be represented in diff dpkg-source: warning: newly created empty file 'intltool-merge.in' will not be represented in diff dpkg-source: warning: newly created empty file 'intltool-update.in' will not be represented in diff dpkg-source: warning: executable mode 0755 of 'configure' will not be represented in diff [...] dpkg-gencontrol: warning: Depends field of package clipit: unknown substitution variable ${shlibs:Depends} I have also fixed the problems with the manpage and have made a new upstream release to include all of the changes. Regarding your comment: > This is mostly nitpicking, so feel free to ignore. I have to say that I appreciate every constructive comments and I thank you very much for your patience and the great help.
