I've looked into the package. It builds ok, is lintia-clean, and generally 
looks good.

I'd however like to ask you to comment on the following items.

*) Most packages hosted in pkg-fso repos have Maintainer: set to 
Debian FreeSmartphone.Org Team <pkg-fso-maint at lists.alioth.debian.org>,
and individuals listed in Uploaders:
Why not do the same for intone?

*) Package description and README.Debian both mention that intone interacts 
with FSO. Maybe add fso-frameworkd to some of dependency fields (likely 
Suggests:) then?

*) Similar to other pkg-fso packages, /usr/share/doc/intone/ does contain 
files with no useful info (NEWS.gs and AUTHORS [into already in 
copyright]). Maybe remove those?

*) debian/README.source should be a human-readable description on how to 
get patched source for the package [Policy sec 4.14]. In this package, 
that file is a script; those should likely go to get-orig-source rule of 
debian/rules [Policy 4.9] instead.
