The extended description contains a "Homepage" pseudo-field following the old Developer's Reference recommendation. As of 1.14.6, dpkg now supports Homepage as a regular field in debian/control. This pseudo-field should be moved from the extended description to the fields for the relevant source or binary packages. Severity: warning Check: fields/description
The first line of the "Description:" should omit any initial
indefinite or definite article: "a", "an", or "the". A good heuristic
is that it should be possible to substitute the package name and
synopsis into this formula:
The package name provides {a,an,the,some} synopsis.
Refer to Debian Developer's Reference section 6.2.2 (The package
synopsis, or short description) for details.
Severity: warning

The icon has a size that differs from the size specified by the name of the directory under which it was installed. The icon was probably mistakenly installed into the wrong directory. Severity: warning Check: desktop/icons
The package activates the ldconfig trigger even though no shared libraries are installed in a directory controlled by the dynamic library loader. Note this may be triggered by a bug in debhelper, that causes it to auto-generate an ldconfig trigger for packages that do not need it. Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 8.1.1 (ldconfig) and Bug#204975 for details. Severity: warning Check: shared-libs
The package declares a relationship with itself. This is not very useful except in the case of a package Conflicting with itself if its package name doubles as a virtual package. Severity: warning Check: fields/package-relations
The "Section:" field in this package's control file is not one of the sections in use on the ftp archive. Valid sections are currently admin, comm, cli-mono, database, debug, devel, doc, editors, electronics, embedded, fonts, games, gnome, gnu-r, gnustep, graphics, hamradio, haskell, httpd, interpreters, java, javascript, kde, libdevel, libs, lisp, localization, kernel, mail, math, misc, net, news, ocaml, oldlibs, otherosfs, perl, php, python, ruby, rust, science, shells, sound, tex, text, utils, vcs, video, web, x11, xfce, zope. The section name should be preceded by "non-free/" if the package is in the non-free archive area, and by "contrib/" if the package is in the contrib archive area. Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 2.4 (Sections) for details. Severity: warning Check: fields/section
You should avoid the use of first person ("I will do this..." or "We
recommend..."). The computer is not a person and the description does
not speak for the maintainer or maintainers. Instead, use a more
neutral construction and try to rephrase into factual statements about
the package.
For example, rather than saying "I don't recommend this package if you
are short on memory," say something like "this package is not suitable
for low-memory systems."

Check: fields/description
The copyright file refers to the versionless symlink in /usr/share/common-licenses for the full text of the GPL, LGPL, or GFDL license. This symlink is updated to point to the latest version of the license when a new one is released. The package appears to allow relicensing under later versions of its license, so this is legally consistent, but it implies that Debian will relicense the package under later versions of those licenses as they're released. It is normally better to point to the version of the license the package references in its license statement. For example, if the package says something like "you may redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your option) any later version", the debian/copyright file should refer to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2, not /GPL. For packages released under the same terms as Perl, Perl references the GPL version 1, so point to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-1. Severity: pedantic Check: debian/copyright
The copyright file contains the incomplete Debian packaging copyright boilerplate from older versions of dh_make. (C) alone is not considered a valid copyright notice in some countries. The word Copyright or the © symbol should be used instead or in addition to (C). Copyright notices like this are, in any country that's a signatory to the Berne Convention, not required to claim copyright on a work, but their presence may allow claiming additional damages should a copyright case go to court. If you provide a notice, you may as well provide one that's legally recognized in a broader range of countries. Severity: pedantic Check: debian/copyright
The file is installed into a location that repeats the given path segment. An example would be /usr/lib/lib or /usr/share/myprogram/share. More often than not this is unintended. Refer to Bug#950052 and Bug#950027 for details. Severity: pedantic Check: files/hierarchy/path-segments
