Have you already verified that the Oracle License is actually DFSG-free? It
might help to convert debian/copyright to DEP-5 to see more easily which
files are affected. Is this license used by any packages in Debian already?
Your *.dsc was broken and couldn't check out with its signature btw..
Apart from that I only would prefer to have a -1 without a patch for the
initial upload so that I won't have to "repackage" your upload to make it
fit for putting into the archive.
Some more technical findings:
- Have you thought about adding a *.symbols file?
- libdbxml-dev doesn't need ${shlibs:Depends} btw. - it's arch all.
- Your source lacks a debian/watch. Please add one.
- You will need to repackage as DFSG-free at least due to
dbxml/build_windows/ and db-4.8.26/docs/csharp,
db-4.8.26/dist/winmsi/s_winmsi.fcn, db-4.8.26/docs_src/ref/install
You may want to try suspicious-source from the ubuntu-dev-tools as a
start. All binary files that are not built from source must be removed
(unless they are a binary format that is ok with good reason - like a PDF
or the *.DB sample file)
- Your Standards-Version should be bumped to 3.9.2 just for completeness
- Please add lintian override for
W: dbxml source: package-needs-versioned-debhelper-build-depends 9
- Please add a doc-base registration of your API
- Your debian/copyright misses some licenses. There's at least missing:
+ PHP 2.0.2
+ BSD 4 clause
+ zlib/libpng
+ Public Domain
+ Artistic
+ GPL
+ Perl
+ BSD 2 clause
+ GPL-2
Once you have at least looked into these (and maybe found even more) send me
the updated package and I'll have another look and upload if it's ok.

I've dropped my work on dbxml due to a change of jobs, but my former colleague Daniël de Kok (cc) has taken over. He's found that dbxml works fine with BDB 5.1, producing backward-compatible files. Greg Burd, formerly of Oracle, has confirmed that this should be the case in general (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/157165/comments/20). README.source should not have been there.

Hi Lars, First of all, apologies for the late response and thank you for your interest in this package. To be honest I'm not using Oracle DB XML in my product anymore and I don't currently have enough spare time to maintain this package. I didn't remove it because I'm hoping someone else will find it usefull. I think it's better if you submit a new package.

Thank you for tackling this large piece of software. I just did a review of the
most basic Debian packaging stuff, I did not check proper function.
- debian/changelog: "squeeze" is not a valid upload destination, you want
unstable or even experimental.
- debian/control: Section: unknown is no good. Current Standards-Version would
be 3.9.1. You want default-jdk, not default-jdk-builddep. All description are
extremly short. Maybe a common text describing what "Oracle Berkeley DB XML"
is, how it differs from other libraries, etc. would be good for all packages.
The current descriptions would then serve as second stanza.
- debian/copyright: You have no give the license of your packaging. It might
also make sense to go for DEP-5 format (http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/)
- debian/dbxml-doc.{docs,install}: What does #DOCS# stand for?
- libdbxml-java-gcj.post{inst,rm}: You must handle the various arguments that
the post{inst,rm} might be called with. See
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html
- debian/README.{Debian,source}: Read their contents and act accordingly.
Package does not build:
cd dbxml && /usr/bin/make clean
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/tautschnig/debian/dbxml/dbxml-2.5.16/dbxml'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `clean'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tautschnig/debian/dbxml/dbxml-2.5.16/dbxml'
make: *** [clean] Error 2
You probably want to ignore errors in this step - a fresh download must be
configured before doing the make clean.
Hope this helps,
Michael

As I don't have a lot of experience with both of those languages it would be nice if someone could check if the binary packages work correctly.
