Hi Mikhail,

There are several points to fix before imsprog will be ready to upload.

In d/control, please drop the Priority and Rules-Requires-Root fields. 
These are no longer required nor recommended for the modern 
Standards-Version you're using.

d/NEWS and d/*.mainscript -> Please remove these files from the debian 
directory. They refer to versions of imsprog not in the Debian archive.

d/watch: convert to v5 format.

d/copyright:
   * Upstream-Contact: add angle brackets around your email address.
   * Please drop all other email addresses. They are not required.
