Hi again Gianfranco,

You already changed the source name that I just mentioned in other
email while I was writing this, there are at least the issues from
this past email quoted below.

- sorry to be picky about this again, but to follow the pattern of the
packages, the name should be "libsdl2-gfx", with the "-"

- there's still no "-dbg" package, should be easy to do by copying
what other SDL modules do

- copyright is still the same as before.  It's almost compliant with
the format (so hopefully it will be a small job to fix it), but not
completely, and since there's a strict format it will be better to be
100% conformant.

Field names, contents and so on documented here:
http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/

- I also discovered that the watch file looks for the version of gfx
for SDL1, not SDL2

I now built the package successfully and lintian seems happy and so
on, so when this is fixed we are good to go.


Cheers.
