  1. Alexander,

Preamble...

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

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]: Issue, full ouput ofrun for you to fix appropriate elements

W: tesseract source: patch-file-present-but-not-mentioned-in-series [debian/patches/disable_NEON.diff]
N: 
N:   The specified patch is present under the debian/patches directory but is
N:   not mentioned in any "series" or "00list" file.
N:   
N:   This may mean that a patch was created with the intention of modifying the
N:   package but is not being applied.
N:   
N:   Please either add the filename to the series file, or ensure it is
N:   commented-out in a form that Lintian can recognise, for example:
N:   
N:     0001_fix-foo.patch
N:     # 0002_fix-bar.patch

W: libtesseract-dev: virtual-package-depends-without-real-package-depends Depends: libcurl4-dev
N: 
N:   The package declares a depends on a virtual package without listing a real
N:   package as an alternative first.
N:   
N:   If this package could ever be a build dependency, it should list a real
N:   package as the first alternative to any virtual package in its Depends.
N:   Otherwise, the build daemons will not be able to provide a consistent
N:   build environment.
N:   
N:   If it will never be a build dependency, this isn't necessary, but you may
N:   want to consider doing so anyway if there is a real package providing that
N:   virtual package that most users will want to use.

I: tesseract source: add-component-copyright test [debian/copyright]
N: 
N:   The sources ship an extra orig component, but the named debian/copyright
N:   file lacks a separate entry for it.
N:   
N:   Tarballs usually include a COPYING or LICENSE file, or a shipping manifest
N:   of some kind. It is good practice to list those license terms separately
N:   in our copyright files.

N: 
N:   This package contains a *.ttf, *.otf, or *.pfb file, file extensions used
N:   by TrueType, OpenType, or Type 1 fonts, but the package does not appear to
N:   be a dedicated font package. Dedicated font package names should begin
N:   with fonts-. (Type 1 fonts are also allowed in packages starting with
N:   xfonts-.) If the font is already packaged, you should depend on that
N:   package instead. Otherwise, normally the font should be packaged
N:   separately, since fonts are usually useful outside of the package that
N:   embeds them.

N:   a symbols control file.

N:   dpkg can use symbols files in order to generate more accurate library

N:   are actually used by the application.

N:   was current at the time the package was created (according to the
N:   timestamp of the latest debian/changelog entry). Please consider updating
N:   the package to current Policy and setting this control field

N:   
N:   If the package is already compliant with the current standards, you don't

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:   For most packages, the best way to set the compatibility level is to
