Thanks for packaging cryptote and help to make ubuntu better! The package has quite a lot of issues that needs to be addressed before uploading to ubuntu. I did a first quick pass and encourage you to fix those before subscribing back the ubuntu sponsors: - debian/copyright doesn't follow DEP5 (http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/), please use this as a template. - the version makes people think that this package is available in debian, which is not the case. Please reference it as 0.5.390-0ubuntuX (where -0 means "this version wasn't in debian" and ubuntuX == ubuntu+number as you did previously. - debian/compat is referecing debhelper 5, we tend to rather use debhelper 9 nowdays. - debian/control references as well debhelper 5 instead of 9 - debian/rules: there are some lintian errors on it, make clean doesn't really clean the package and have some rules missing: W: cryptote source: debian-rules-ignores-make-clean-error line 46 W: cryptote source: debian-rules-missing-recommended-target build-indep W: cryptote source: debian-rules-missing-recommended-target build-arch Please, consider here as well to use debhelper 9 as the rules will be way easier.
debian/rules would be simply something like: #!/usr/bin/make -f #DH_VERBOSE=1 %: dh $@ and from that, you can read some debhelper documentation if you need to override some default parameters. * debian/menu is not in use in ubuntu, if you don't intend to upload that package to debian, please remove it. That's already quite enough for a first look, please get that package updated in the ppa and feel free to resubscribe the sponsoring list!
