I'm not a DD, but here's my review ( I'd still wait for quadrispro,
he's way better at this then me )

At first glance, it seems like you're newlining a bit too much on the
control deps. It's valid, and better then a single line, but see if
you can hit under 80, and get more then one to a line. Helps cut out
some scrolling ( and you can check all the deps in a terminal :)

Your description is great, but way-y-y-y-y long :)

You have a few non-critical errors on your debs:

P: deadbeef: no-upstream-changelog
P: deadbeef-plugins: no-upstream-changelog
X: deadbeef-plugins: shlib-calls-exit usr/lib/deadbeef/alsa.so.0.0.0
X: deadbeef-plugins: shlib-calls-exit usr/lib/deadbeef/dca.so.0.0.0
X: deadbeef-plugins: shlib-calls-exit usr/lib/deadbeef/gtkui.so.0.0.0
X: deadbeef-plugins: shlib-calls-exit usr/lib/deadbeef/notify.so.0.0.0
X: deadbeef-plugins: shlib-calls-exit usr/lib/deadbeef/sid.so.0.0.0
X: deadbeef-plugins: shlib-calls-exit usr/lib/deadbeef/vtx.so.0.0.0
P: deadbeef-plugins-dev: no-upstream-changelog

My guess is that the changelog one does not need fixing, just set it
to install in the core package, and similink it something. There was
just a thread where I said the same thing.

Those X: errors are for upstream, my guess is.

Nice patches, copyright file.

0.4.4~dfsg-1 might be better phrased as 0.4.4-1~dfsg1

guesses here, I am guessing as to what's going on ( take this last bit
with a grain of salt )--

install should be deadbeef.install
menu should be deadbeef.menu
manpages should be deadbeef.manpages
docs should be deadbeef.docs


Keep hacking,
Paul
