  Sorry for my late reply. Thanks for your work on qflow.

  Unfortunately I am not a DD. I'm not sure if Hamish (the only 
  remaining DD in that team, as far as I know) is following. Yet I would 
  encourage you to join the team [1].
  I see that you are using git for your packaging work, by the joining 
  the team you can have the git repo on Alioth.

  Would you also include the pristine-tar in the git packaging ? I 
  wonder if you are using git-buildpackage ?

  Just done a quick check on qrouter, and I have a few comments:
  * debian/copyright says that upstream license is GPL-2, though I don't 
    find anything indicating that it is GPL-2. Upstream's COPYRIGHT 
    seems to be GPL-1.

  * In override_dh_install, you do: cp qrouter.sh qrouter
    I think you should remove 'qrouter' in dh_clean, you can do this by 
    adding 'qrouter' to a debian/clean file.
  * I wonder if the libdir should be /usr/lib/qrouter or 
    /usr/lib/<multiarchdir>/qrouter
