So Matthew, what do we miss to make this Debian packaging system happy?

Well, my name is not Matthew - but I suggest

• debian/docs should probably contain BUGS README TODO and CREDITS

TODO is for internal use only.

In contrast, you are not mentioning

ChangeLog NEWS README.configure doc/README.doc

Is the omission intended? In other words, what is the exact semantics of the `debian/docs' file?

• debian/rules is still missing

I am sure one does not start from scratch writing one. Does Debian provide a standard starting point? I mean: we have a "configure, make, make install" build system afterall. Cheers,

P.S. I am not CCing Matthew or Andrea because they already are on ppl-devel.
