Again, QA is part of Debian packaging (just check all the debian lintian checks https://lintian.debian.org/tags-all.html - and you do officially run lintian on your packages). Again, no one is forcing you to do official D

You see, there is where you mistake. Debian official packaging is about Quality of package. Lintian checks for example is your library really a library or it maybe contains scripts, did you make a mistake in description (simple letter mista

Being a Debian maintainer, that is a very bad and low quality tutorial. You missed a lot of files in debian directory, even your example of control file is not good enough, you're using practices to build package which would reject you

Not all answer need to be pure technical ones - they don't go and search person by person via manpower but they use meta data and algorithms. Simple overflowing their meta data would force them to use other means. Also you forget socia
