That's it. With a few rare exceptions (that don't apply here), we file exactly one ITP per source. > One question this raises in my mind: > > suppose I have a single source tar.gz, that I want to build into four debian > binary packages, with different names (obviously). If this should require > only one ITP, which package name should the ITP be made for? Debian source packages also have a name. We normaly use that for the ITP. For simple 1:1 packages the source name is usualy the same as the binary name, but that's absolutely not a requisite. For example, the "xfree86" source package provides a gazillon of binary packages but there's no "xfree86" binary package as such (And soon won't be any "xfree86" at all anyway ;). -- .''`.
