  1. Thomas,

Preamble...

Thank you for taking the time to prepare this package and your contribution to the Debian project.

The review below is for assistance. This review is offered to help package submitters to Debian mentors inorder to improve their packages prior to possible sponsorship into Debian. There is no obligation on behalf of the submitter to make any alterations based upon information provided in the review.

Review...

1. Build:

  * pbuilder [1]: Good
  * sbuild [2]: Good

2. Lintian [3]: Information only, none blocking

Running lintian...
N:
N: False positive:
O: bibtexconv: spelling-error-in-binary ment meant [usr/bin/bibtexconv]
N: 
N:   Lintian found a spelling error in the given binary. Lintian has a list of
N:   common misspellings that it looks for. It does not have a dictionary like
N:   a spelling checker does.
N:   
N:   If the string containing the spelling error is translated with the help of
N:   gettext or a similar tool, please fix the error in the translations as
N:   well as the English text to avoid making the translations fuzzy. With
N:   gettext, for example, this means you should also fix the spelling mistake
N:   in the corresponding msgids in the *.po files.
N:   
N:   You can often find the word in the source code by running:
N:   
N:    grep -rw <word> <source-tree>
N:   
N:   This tag may produce false positives for words that contain non-ASCII
N:   characters due to limitations in strings.
N: 
N:   Visibility: info
N:   Show-Always: no
N:   Check: binaries/spelling
N: 

I: Lintian run was successful.

3. Licenses [4]: Good

Note Myself and other prefer a 'Files: debian/*' section in 'debian/copyright'.

4. Watch file [uscan --force-download]: Good

5. Build Twice [sudo pbuilder build --twice <package>.dsc]: Good

6. Reproducible builds [5]: Good

7. Install [No previous installs]: Good

8. Upgrade [Over previous installs if any]: Good

Summary...

Looks good to me, great work. If you do not have a regular sponsor, I would suggets filing an RFS bug so we n=might get it seen by DDs and get possible sponsorship.

Regards

Phil
