I am willing to sponsor it when it is ready.
Since you are upstream, please read our upstream guide if you didn't already:
http://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamGuide
Please fix the issues Jakub Wilk and Juhani Numminen identified and
these extra ones:
.tar.gz in the watch file should be replaced with this, which will
give maximum flexibility in case upstream tarballs change their names:
\.(?:zip|tgz|tbz|txz|(?:tar\.(?:gz|bz2|xz)))
You can drop all of the comments from debian/rules, they are not needed.
Please add --parallel to the arguments of dh, this should speed up
builds on multi-core/multi-CPU machines.
Please come up with an icon for the program.
Don't ship the upstream README, it doesn't add anything over the
package description.
I would suggest running wrap-and-sort -sa to make package diffs more readable.
The actual upstream website seems to be a different one, dualword.org
is just a frameset, but even that isn't a very useful homepage, so I
would suggest just linking to the sourceforge page:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dualword/
Why is there a copy of debian/ in pkg/debian/?
In dualword.desktop please swap in these lines. dualword could be
installed in any part of PATH, not just /usr/bin. The icon name should
be the same as the executable name.
Exec=dualword
Icon=dualword
You can delete the comments from dualword.1, they aren't needed.
The Xapian index in the index/ directory should be created from source
at build time, as Jakub suggests.
I would suggest deleting the empty ChangeLog from your SVN repository
and automatically generating it with svn2cl when you build your
tarballs.
The message that pops up on first run is probably unnessecary, just
copy the pre-built index when the per-user one is not found.
The program started up with Russian, it might be better to start with
the Settings tab open so that people can choose which language they
want to learn.
The package should probably recommend or suggest festival or whatever
is needed to enable speech synthesis and the "turn speech on" setting
should say what I need to install when it is not found. For bonus
points you could even use the PackageKit APIs to allow users to
install it automatically. Please note that packages from
contrib/non-free should never be in Depends/Recommends of packages in
main.
The "Say" button should disappear or be disabled when there is no
speech synthesis available.
There isn't any feedback when you get a word wrong.
I don't understand what the "I Know this one" button does, it probably
needs a tooltip explaining it.
The program doesn't remember which language I chose between restarts.
The packages dict-freedict-spa-eng and dict-freedict-eng-spa might be
useful for users wanting to look up the meaning of Spanish words, it
would be useful to integrate looking up words in dictionaries. I'm not
sure how to go about that but I guess Qt/KDE might have something for
that.
The Dictionary tab doesn't appear to work with foreign language words,
I can search for English words but not Spanish ones.
When I run two copies of dualword and then click on the Settings tab,
the second copy segfaults.
The word lists (at least for Spanish) appear to be quite limited. What
is the process for adding new words? Would it be possible to use the
wordlists from dict-freedict-spa-eng/dict-freedict-eng-spa or similar?
In Debian we have an automated translation program called apertium and
a few language pairs. I'm not sure how but perhaps its D-Bus interface
could be useful in some way. Or you might simply wish to help to
maintain it and the language pairs:

That may take some time. In the interim, is there anybody who is able to upload changes who is willing to review what I'm proposing? I don't think the changes are massive. The aim is to just get these 3 patches that the Fedora folks have been using since 2010. blt is a pre-quilt package, the source was not pristine in the slightest. All the changes by the previous blt maintainer are now segregated to one patch file. Reading through that, I can see that almost all of the changes were spelling corrections and grammatical revision of help files. There's quite a bit of fiddling in config.guess and config.sub that was done, that part is not my specialty. Even if I don't sneak this into Wheezy, I'll still accept transition into Experimental or wherever. Its better than what I've been doing since 2010, which is posting the packages on a web page and telling the researchers to go get them. Meanwhile, I'm going to keep trying to find somebody in the Kansas City area who is a DM to sign my key, which I've uploaded: pub 4096R/8FE944B5 2013-01-20 Key fingerprint = B7BC 49E2 999D 7887 3200 60E0 7597 F322 8FE9 44B5 uid Paul E.

Hi Ansgar thank you for reviewing the package. Altough I don't understand well why could I drop the Replaces field, I've re-uploaded a new version to mentors fixing it as you suggested. Changes since the last upload: * debian/control: fixed package relationships, thanks to Ansgar Burchardt. * debian/copyright: fixed lintian warning about symbolic link to License. * debian/watch: fixed URL limitation to the versions 1.6.x, thanks to Bart Martens.
