Before you decide to ask your question in some public place, please just RTFM.
That includes documentation in /usr/share/doc/dpkg,
/usr/share/doc/debian,
/usr/share/doc/autotools-dev/README.Debian.gz,
/usr/share/doc/package/* files and the man/info pages for all the
programs mentioned in this document. See all the information at http://nm.debian.org/ and http://people.debian.org/~mpalmer/debian-mentors_FAQ.html.
If you have questions about packaging that you couldn't find answers to in the
documentation, you can ask them on the Debian Mentors' mailing list at [email protected].
The more experienced Debian developers will gladly help you, but do read at
least some of the documentation before asking a question!
See http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/
for more information about this mailing list.
When you receive a bug report (yes, actual bug reports!), you will know that it
is time for you to dig into the Debian Bug Tracking System and
read the documentation there, to be able to deal with the reports efficiently.
I highly recommend reading the Developers' Reference, chapter "Handling
Bugs", at
/usr/share/doc/developers-reference/ch-pkgs.en-us.iso-8859-1.html#s-bug-handling
If you still have questions, ask on the Debian Developers' mailing list at
[email protected].
See http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/
for more information about this mailing list.
Even if it all worked well, it's time to start praying. Why? Because in just a few hours (or days) users from all around the world will start to use your package, and if you made some critical error you'll get mailbombed by numerous angry Debian users... Just kidding. :-)
Relax and be ready for bug reports, because there is a lot more work to be done before your package will be fully in line with Debian policies (once again, read the real documentation for details). Good luck!
