W: vsdump source: debian-rules-ignores-make-clean-error line 56 N: N: A rule in the debian/rules file for this package calls the package's N: clean or distclean target with a line like: N: N: -$(MAKE) distclean N: N: The leading - tells make to ignore all errors. Normally this is done N: for packages using Autoconf since Makefile may not exist. However, N: this line ignores all other error messages, not just the missing N: Makefile error. It's better to use: N: N: [ ! -f Makefile ] || $(MAKE) distclean N: N: so that other error messages from the clean or distclean rule will N: still be caught. N: W: vsdump source: dh-make-template-in-source debian/manpage.xml.ex N: N: This package contains debian/*.ex and/or debian/ex.* files installed N: by dh_make. These are intended to be filled in with the package's N: details and renamed for use by various debhelper commands. If they are N: not being used, they should be removed.

In this case, N: the version number should not contain a debian revision part. N: N: Native source packages are sometimes created by accident. In most N: cases the reason is the location of the original source tarball. N: dpkg-source searches for this in N: ../package_upstream-version.orig.tar.gz. N: N: ---- N: Processing binary package vsdump (version 0.0.38-1) ... W: vsdump: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/vsdump N: N: Each binary in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /bin, /sbin or /usr/games should N: have a manual page N: N: Note, that though the `man' program has the capability to check for N: several program names in the NAMES section, each of these programs N: should have its own manual page (a symbolic link to the appropriate N: manual page is sufficient) because other manual page viewers such as N: xman or tkman don't support this. N: N: Refer to Policy Manual, section 12.1 for details. N: W: vsdump: copyright-lists-upstream-authors-with-dh_make-boilerplate N: N: There is "Upstream Author(s)" in your copyright file. This was most N: likely a remnant from the dh_make template. N: N: There's either one upstream author, in which case you should remove N: the "(s)", or there are several upstream authors, in which case you N: should remove the "(" and ")". N: N: o/~ join us now and carefully edit debian/copyright files! o/~ N: E: vsdump: description-starts-with-package-name N: N: The first line of the "Description:" should not start with the package N: name. For example, the package foo should not have a description like N: this: `foo is a program that...'. N: N: Refer to Policy Manual, section 3.4.1 for details. N: N: Removing /tmp/xQtfl9zWx8
