Thanks for preparing this! Unfortunately it is not ready for upload.

Why did you remove most of the debian/copyright content? Please restore the
information it had previously.

Since you’ve added a +ds suffix, I take it you’re repackaging the upstream
tarball; could you clarify what changes you’ve made to that? Are any files
removed? If so, they should be listed in debian/copyright too, in
Files-Excluded.

Regards,

Stephen
