I'm going to review it ASAP.
While I'm interested in the package, I can't really sponsor it -- I have almost
no knowledge of CDBS to help you there.
However, here are a couple of things you should fix :)
- in debian/rules you're using some bashisms, like using *.{o,pyc}. You should
avoid this, by expanding those yourselves, i.e. *.o *.pyc.
- you should remove debian/DEBIAN/ from the package
- in debian/control, instead of build-depending on python{2.5,2.6} and
python{2.5,2.6}-dev, you should use python-all-dev. You should keep
python3.1-dev though, since it's not in the -all- package yet.
- debian/control: the package uwsgi-various should be better named IMHO,
maybe uwsgi-extra? This is to stay consistent with other packages in Debian
- debian/control: some packages have the same long description. Please fix
this. (uwsgi-plugin-lua, uwsgi-plugin-psgi)
- debian/control , package uwsgi. Why are you hardcoding the dependency to
uwsgi-python2.5 ? I suggest you use:
uwsgi-python2.5 | uwsgi-python2.6 | uwsgi-python3.1
, drop the Provides: uwsgi-any from other uwsgi-python* packages, and fix
the dependency of plugins from uwsgi | uwsgi-any to uwsgi. It should work
the way you intended it :)
- debian/control: libapache2-mod-uwsgi, does it work only with
apache2-mpm-worker, apache2-mpm-prefork and apache2-mpm-itk? Doesn't it work
with other MPMs?
You might want to give one default, and add an alternative to apache2-mpm.
Example:
apache2-mpm-worker | apache2-mpm
So you get all other MPMs for free, and you still get the default one you
chose (if no other is installed) :)
I hope I didn't miss anything :)
Have a nice day,
David

RFS: webfs (updated package)
Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 1.21+ds1-5 of my package webfs. It builds this binary package: webfs - lightweight http server for static content The package is pedantically lintian clean, and it builds well using pbuilder. The upload would fix an annoying bug: #577241 The problem consisted in too aggressive application of de-initialization of libgnutls, even when no such was called for! The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/w/webfs - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/w/webfs/webfs_1.21+ds1-5.dsc I would please me to see that annoying system error, on a segfault, be gone forever also on the machines of others.

Every unmentioned issue is fixed just as you recommended. - you should remove debian/DEBIAN/ from the package I use source package format '3.0 (quilt)'. As I read on Debian wiki [1] with this format debian directory from upstream tarball is automatically replaced by content of Maintainer debian directory at tarball unpack time.

I don't know why, but on my system (Debian unstable), when I have apache2-mpm-prefork installed, then installing of libapache2-mod-uwsgi with dependency on (apache2-mpm-worker | apache2-mpm) or even just on virtual package (apache2-mpm) conflicts with apache2-mpm-prefork.

So, no real problem here, but good to read you contacted upstream. - debian/control: libapache2-mod-uwsgi, does it work only with apache2-mpm-worker, apache2-mpm-prefork and apache2-mpm-itk?
