The new version puts a helper script into $PATH: /usr/games/play.sh This doesn't look like a good place for a private helper. Its name is also pretty generic, not conflicting with other programs only because filename extensions are banned in $PATH (Policy §10.4). Thus, could you please move it into a private dir?

Package recommended and upgrade/dist-upgrade
Dear all, I'm one of the maintainers of a downstream Debian repository. We install a meta-package to install the most part of the package from the repository. Most of the users would like to be able to uninstall packages that are not fully required without uninstalling the meta-package. I've seen that it is possible to mark package as "recommended" so it will be installed at the first installation. If I mark a new package as recommended on a new release, does this package will be installed on upgrade on the user system ? Otherwise, is there a way to install a new package on upgrades that could be remove by the user without to uninstall the package that recommends it ? Best regards. -- Alex ARNAUD Visual-Impairment Project Manager Hypra - "Humanizing technology"

I tried to improve the package description to explain what danmaku is and the role danmaku client is playing for this package: +Description: desktop danmaku client + DanmaQ is a desktop danmaku client. It is used to display danmaku strings. + . + "danmaku", originally a Japanese word, is a certain method of instant + commenting over the Internet. It originated in Japan and became + popular in East Asian cultural circle. In this case, People write comments + and send them to a danmaku server. The server will push comments to + danmaku clients connected to it, where comments are displayed on a real-time + basis. Comment strings will fly over the screen with artistic effects. + . + This package provides a danmaku client program implemented in Qt5. Hope that the new description is better for those unfamiliar with danmaku. BTW, I uploaded the new upstream bugfix release 0.2.2-1 to mentors.d.n and git packaging repository.

There are probably many people who know what danmaku and danmaku strings are, but there are also many who have no idea, such as myself. Please try to introduce these concepts in the description. In addition, "implemented/written in Qt5" is not relevant to most (non-technical) users, so I recommend to remove references to Qt5.
