Hello Sergio,
No problem. However, the "License:" still doesn't reflect the license
> of the software. According to LICENSE:
>
> We provide this software under a slightly modified version of the
> Apache Software License. The only changes to the document were the
> replacement of "Apache" with "Pcapy" and "Apache Software Foundation"
> with "CORE Security Technologies". Feel free to compare the resulting
> document to the official Apache license.
>
> The `Apache Software License' is an Open Source Initiative Approved
> License.
>
> Therefore, I think a better value for the field would be:
>
> License: Apache with Pcapy modifications
>
Ready!
> Also, please remove the "All rights reserved." text here:
>
> Copyright (C) 2003-2011 CORE Security Technologies <oss at coresecurity.com>.

> All rights reserved.

Ready!
> Oh, and please fix the years. Nowhere in the code I see "2003-2011".
> Doing a basic grep, I see that the year should be 2014.

Ok. I will contact Arnaud Fontaine to ask about it. I think it's ok for
now. In the next release of package I can update this field.
Thanks, but what you did is incomplete. In order to create a new
> package, you have to create an entry for it on d/control. What you did
> (add ${python3:Depends} to python-pcapy's Depends) is wrong because
> you're basically pulling Python 3 dependencies for a Python 2 package.
> Please have a look at other packages under them DPMT and check their
> d/control; you will find many examples of how to create Python 3
> packages.

Ready!
Thanks for your help!
Regards!
