Hi,

I think a standard Debian source package layout, that uses (the
quasi-standard) debhelper, would be more familiar to most people used
to package stuff for Debian... including me:

https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/packaging-tutorial/packaging-tutorial.en.pdf

Whom shall I send my comments on the initial packaging? (E.g.
using dpkg-divert for conffiles is explicitly unsupported, and has
undefined behavior.)

It would be interesting to see if we can bring this package to the
point where it's ready for Debian (or at least, almost ready, and then
we'll know what the blockers exactly are).

So, if one of you folks wants to dive deeper into packaging, and learn
quite a bit along the way, then I'm happy to give a hand (mainly by
answering the occasional question, pointing to best practices and
tools). Maybe u <u@???>, a Tails contributor who's reading this
list, and has seen her first packages uploaded to Debian recently
(congrats!), would be interested in giving a hand too.

Great :)

ACK.
