Hi Daniel, non-D{D,M} speaking, but i have used sxiv now and then and even did a quick&dirty package for myself, so let me comment your welcomed package effort for inclusion sxiv in debian main:

Thats true for lintian without any option, but its a good idea to let it watch a bit more pedantic at times. Not everything it suggests in these modes is necessarily a good suggestion, but some are worthwhile: $ lintian -I -E --pedantic sxiv_0.8.2-1_i386.changes P: sxiv: no-upstream-changelog I: sxiv: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign usr/share/man/man1/sxiv.1.gz:79 I: sxiv: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign usr/share/man/man1/sxiv.1.gz:239 The first can be ignored as upstream doesn't provide a changelog (you can ask for one of course if you want), but the others are easy to fix. Don't forget to sent them upstream. :) Apropos patches: You have a patch to not install the manpage from the Makefile. Why? I don't see a reason for it as debhelper does the right thing (TM), but either way that is something you should note in the description of the patch if you keep it that way. A small thing regarding debian/copyright in dep5: The Format: links to dep5 homepage. You need to link to a versioned spec so a machine knows how to interpret your file. And as i am really pedantic at times (feel free to ignore it): * spec allows it to say 'GPL-2.0+' but 'GPL-2+' is a lot more used so the first looks like it would be special in some way (the emphasis on 2.0 instead of 'just' 2 i mean). * you don't need to move the license text to a new 'License:' block All in all i can't find something really serious, so i hope you will find a sponsor soon.
