That's OK, but if you change the upstream source you should either provide a) get-orig-source target in d/rules b) specify Files-Excluded in d/copyright and use the enhanced uscan described here: https://wiki.debian.org/UscanEnhancements I personally recommend the latter since it is more simple to implement and from my personal point of view more transparent. > > In what Debian Science task would this library fit best? > > The "image analysis" task sounds most appropriate to me. I added Suggests: libvlfeat-dev since we usually link to user applications in non-dev metapackages. It might make sense to consider an imageanalysis-dev metapackage since the task now is assembling several lib*-dev packages that way. What do you think? Is there any chance to also create a vlfeat-{tools,utils} package with a plain user application for demonstarting the library? Feel free to add your package to the SoB Wiki page.
