Hi all,

Let me have a look on this procedure to be compliant.

> ideally, you have a Debian/unstable system for packaging.

I have packaged on oldstable, so I inherit of old packaging tools
I'll upgrade my main laptop during this week to jessie and afterward to sid
FYI: The package has been tested a another sid box without issues

Thanks.Aurelien

P: calf source: package-lacks-versioned-build-depends-on-debhelper 7
N: 
N:    The package either doesn't declare a versioned build dependency on
N:    debhelper or does not declare a versioned build dependency on a new
N:    enough version of debhelper to satisfy the declared compatibility level.
N:    
N:    Recommended practice is to always declare an explicit versioned
N:    dependency on debhelper equal to or greater than the compatibility level
N:    used by the package, even if the versioned dependency isn't strictly
N:    necessary. Having a versioned dependency also helps with backports to
N:    older releases and correct builds on partially updated systems.
N:    
N:    Refer to the debhelper(7) manual page for details.

W: calf source: changelog-should-mention-nmu
N: 
N:    When you NMU a package, that fact should be mentioned on the first line
N:    in the changelog entry. Use the words "NMU" or "Non-maintainer upload"
N:    (case insensitive).
N:    
N:    Maybe you didn't intend this upload to be a NMU, in that case, please
N:    doublecheck that the most recent entry in the changelog is byte-for-byte
N:    identical to the maintainer or one of the uploaders. If this is a local
N:    package (not intended for Debian), you can suppress this warning by
N:    putting "local" in the version number or "local package" on the first
N:    line of the changelog entry.

N:    The package has a significant amount of architecture-independent data
N:    (over 4MB, or over 2MB and more than 50% of the package) in /usr/share

I: calf-plugins: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign usr/share/man/man1/calfjackhost.1.gz:101
N: 
N:    This manual page seems to contain a hyphen where a minus sign was
N:    intended. By default, "-" chars are interpreted as hyphens (U+2010) by
N:    groff, not as minus signs (U+002D). Since options to programs use minus
N:    signs (U+002D), this means for example in UTF-8 locales that you cannot
N:    cut and paste options, nor search for them easily. The Debian groff
N:    package currently forces "-" to be interpreted as a minus sign due to
N:    the number of manual pages with this problem, but this is a
N:    Debian-specific modification and hopefully eventually can be removed.
N:    
N:    "-" must be escaped ("\-") to be interpreted as minus. If you really
N:    intend a hyphen (normally you don't), write it as "\(hy" to emphasise
N:    that fact. See groff(7) and especially groff_char(7) for details, and
N:    also the thread starting with
N:    http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200303/msg01481.h
N:    tml
N:    
N:    If you use some tool that converts your documentation to groff format,
N:    this tag may indicate a bug in the tool. Some tools convert dashes of
N:    any kind to hyphens. The safe way of converting dashes is to convert
N:    them to "\-".
N:    
N:    Because this error can occur very often, Lintian shows only the first 10
N:    occurrences for each man page and give the number of suppressed
N:    occurrences. If you want to see all warnings, run Lintian with the
N:    -d/--debug option.

W: calf-plugins: manpage-has-bad-whatis-entry usr/share/man/man7/calf.7.gz
N: 
N:    Each manual page should start with a "NAME" section, which lists the
N:    name and a brief description of the page separated by "\-". The "NAME"
N:    section is parsed by lexgrog and used to generate a database that's
N:    queried by commands like apropos and whatis. This tag indicates that
N:    lexgrog was unable to parse the NAME section of this manual page.
N:    
N:    For manual pages that document multiple programs, functions, files, or
N:    other things, the part before "\-" should list each separated by a comma
N:    and a space. Each thing listed must not contain spaces; a man page for a
N:    two-part command like "fs listacl" must use something like "fs_listacl"
N:    in the "NAME" section so that it can be parsed by lexgrog.
N:    
N:    Refer to the lexgrog(1) manual page, the groff_man(7) manual page, and
