Here's a preliminary review of your package: - The source package contains several versions of other clients as archives in the clients/ directory. For one, this seems strange, as both other clients appear to be packaged in Debian. Second, these clients have different licenses, which aren't reflected at all in debian/copyright. - There need not be an RFP filed, but an ITP is desirable. The intend-to-package will ensure that a wider audience notices the interest in packaging this software and people interested in that may step up. - debian/rules: your override of dh_installdebconf has a weird comment: "# Don't touch the postrm script" - why exactly should that not happen? override of dh_fixperms: you should move the chown to the postinst, i.e., after unpacking on the target system, not in the package build. - Could you please me more specific on the kind of advice you need for the postinst-uses-db-input warning? The point here is that db_input calls should happen in torrentflux-b4rt.config, not postinst!? Hope this helps, Michael
