Please write informative changelog entries when closing bugs. Just
"Closes: #nnnnnn" does not say much. You might want to add a small
informative header to the patch as well (maybe using the proposed DEP-3
format).
What does "debian/directory is deleted from orig.tar.gz" mean? You
cannot change the .orig.tar.gz without changing the upstream version.
The license used upstream seems to be "GPL-2 or later". Please mention
this in debian/copyright. For some files (getopt*) the FSF has the
copyright. (There is also the proposed DEP-5 format for d/copyright, of
course you are also free not to use it.)
Most people prefer to license the Debian packaging under the same terms
as the upstream source, so that for example patches can be reused by
upstream as well.
The "Sample debian/rules" header is not true: It's not a sample. There
are two hashbang lines ("#!/usr/bin/make"). Passing "-a" to the dh_*
tools should not be necessary. The newlines near the end should be
removed.
Is the build-dependency on autotools-dev used anywhere?
Regards,
Ansgar
