Hi,

I'm using Openser and I think it's great if it will be included in 
Debian. I downloaded the new source package (openser_1.0.1-0.dsc), and 
tested it with lintian which outputs a lot of warnings.

For example native packages should not include a dash in the version.
But I don't think openser should be a Debian native package since you 
also distribute a source tar-ball (openser-1.0.1-tls_src.tar.gz). The 
Debian package should instead use this tar-ball as orig source. It will 
also fix the problem with cvs directories and cvs conflict copies in the 
source since
openser-1.0.1-tls_src.tar.gz doesn't contain those.
