Hello Filippo,

Debian packaging (as well as RPM-based packaging) is part of upstream:

http://sourceforge.net/p/osra/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/package/linux/debian/

There are few things to mention:

* To compile the package one need to have "libgocr-dev" which is not yet
in repository. Currently I have it only locally compiled
(https://copy.com/6XMPCRvb4fP6ue1Z) and I have contacted the package
maintainer to introduce the necessary changes.

* The package itself is build here (https://copy.com/XAR7VIfdqcUKxOmV).
I would like to focus on some lintian errors and warnings, but some of
them are really weird.

Thanks in advance!
