This is not a valid package name; package names can only contain lower-case
letters, numbers, and the characters '+', '-', and '.'.  Should this be
called 'gt.m' instead?

you should not use capitals in the short description except for proper

This long description is incredibly long; I would suggest refining it in
consultation with debian-l10n-english.
