Hi, I cannot sponsor, but I have a few comments for you.
* The dev-ref recommends indenting the Homepage: pseudo-field by two
spaces.
* Do you need Replaces: libvrb-dev as well?
* Please move away from using ${Source-Version} in debian/control
http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2006/09/msg00228.html
* Drop the blank line from libvrb0-dev.install
* You don't need a - in front of rm -rf as it wont fail if the dir is
not present.
* Why are you not using the configure target? Your current setup makes
cross-compiling harder, and making a debug version of the package
difficult as well.
* Please add a watch file.
* Lintian gives a few
I: vbuf: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign usr/share/man/man1/vbuf.1.gz:66
that you might like to fix.
The binary packages look good though.
James

First of all, thanks for your time to investigate the package.

Because of word-wrapping... Thanks. Done.
> * Do you need Replaces: libvrb-dev as well?
I have seen similar (ie. development) packages with and others without
this. Do I?

Understood. Done.

Done.

Although it did no harm, the source package is one byte smaller now. ;)
Done.

Policy does not mention the configure target, which means to me that the
autobuilders don't use it. Instead,
"The build target should perform all the configuration and compilation
of the package."
Could you explain (or point to RTFM) how a configure target would be useful?

Actually there was an error in the man page. Thanks for spotting. Done.
Thanks again for your helpful comments. I will upload a new version if
questions left open in this mail are discussed.
Have a nice day,

Do I? If you want to support upgrading for users who use you previous unofficial package, and libvrb0-dev ships the same files as libvrb-dev, then yes, you need Replaces: (and probably also Conflicts:) libvrb-dev. I am also curious why did you change the name of the development library package in the first place. I know the naming of -dev packages is a very controversial topic, so I want to hear your (and other people's) opinion.

There is no libvrb-dev package. It is a virtual package to ensure that only one development version is installed at a time (Provides + Conflicts). > I am also curious why did you change the name of the development library > package in the first place. See Policy 8.4. > I know the naming of -dev packages is a > very controversial topic, so I want to hear your (and other people's) > opinion. The soversion is usually added to the -dev package name to be able to support multiple versions of a library off-line, which means all versions can be found in the archive, but only one can be installed on the user's machine. The question is, which mechanism should be used to accomplish this? Do we need Replaces:? I think Provides and Conflicts is enough. I'm not sure I understand the example about MTAs in Policy 7.5.2. Why is Replaces needed at all in this particular case? Is this also valid in the case of development packages? Why aren't Conflicts + Provides enough?
