I did a quick look (don't expect much involvement - am involved in too 
much at the moment already, and have some deadlines in RL too).

This looks bad:

That and the DEB_SCONS_OPTIONS above it seems to indicate that it does 
not follow Debian Policy §4.9.1. Only a recommendation apparently, but I 
am uncertain if that only is _how_ to do it (i.e. DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS 
hinting) while the underlying mechanisms (e.g. ability to build without 
optimizations or without stripping binaries) is a must.


The -doc package should probably suggest the main package.  Similarly 
for the editor plugin packages (suggestions are too weak to cause a 
"domino effect" so are in my opinion best to declare explicitly).

Oh, and why do editor plugins recommend -doc package?  Seems they are 
tools to write code, not closely related to the documentation of the 
tool, so should perhaps be lowered to a suggestion.

And I guess main packages not suggest/recommend -doc package too.

What is the most proper build-dependency for jack these days?  Here it 
is "libjack-dev (>= 0.100) | libjack-jackd2-dev", which as I believe is 
not wrong but seem to recall can be satisfied by a simpler dependency.

The clean rule does not fully cleanup.  These files was left behind:

  common/.sconf_temp/
  common/.sconsign.dblite
  common/config.log



I will do an analysis on copyrights/licenses now - and hope not to find 
anything controversial there....
