  1. Hi,

Thank you for your feedback. My replies:

1. `.gitignore` is not part of upstream, it's purely for salsa. `dpkg-source` ignores `.gitignore` from every source package it builds, so this should be fine.

2. -dfsg → +dfsg
While I agree that the + format is more modern, I don't think I can change it now. the - format has been used since 2006. I ran `dpkg --compare-versions "2.1-3+dfsg-3" gt "2.1-3-dfsg-2.7" ; echo $?` which returns `1` (meaning: false, the + format is not seen as greater-than the - format). So, I don't think a change would work at all; it would mess up the package version ordering in Debian.

3. Version churn (the dsfg-3,4,5,6,...)
Yes, I agree, it's ugly. This is the first Debian package I am intend to adopt. I thought I had it all sorted in the first upload, but you came with good suggestions for changes and I learned a few things. As a result, more uploads. I am worried the lintian (on mentors) or uploads won't work if I keep the same version number. If needed, I can always squash these changes (also in the changelog) before it's handed over to the Debian uploader?

Thank you again for your advise.

  1. Thank you, I made the changes as requested.

However, now I get a lintian Error: uploaders-in-orphan.

I am willing to become the maintainer, but I think I would have to become a DM for that first, and that is a process for which I would need some more acquaintances in Debian, I think? Nevertheless, happy to receive advise on that, and to do the work to contribute to Debian in that way.
