Various things I'd want to see fixed before I would sponsor the upload:
- fix lintian warning[1] in rules (and add a "compat" file).
- update to standards version 3.7.3[2] in control file along with any
needed packaging changes.
- update source to current upstream version, as seen by watch file[3]
- check (and fix?) bug #405655 (which has a patch).
- add a "Closes" for bug #470091, as you're taking over
maintainership.[4]
- is the "old-patches" directory needed any more?
Everything else looks good. :)
I don't know...
- -commands- and -kernel- are not co-installable
- many tests can't be ran from ltpmenu (eg. math tests)/don't have
necessary files packaged (eg. nfs)/simply don't work (eg. *chown) [1]
- some tests write to /usr
These are the reasons I had to create my own packages to test some kernel
changes. I was kinda hoping the situation is going to ameliorate, but it
doesn't seem so. I think ltp would make a perfect candidate for a
team-maintaned package. But that would mean someone (DD?) had to create
some (git?) repository, wiki...
[1] eg. in this context mean ... and many others
