Thank you for your work. There are a few issues though:

1. The version of this package should be 7.82-0ubuntu1 as debian does not have this package yet
2. Why did you change debian/dirs? Please give an explanation in the changelog.
3. Please attach the diff.gz to this report, that makes it easier to analyse/sponsor.

Unsubscribing the sponsors for now, please resubscribe when ready.

Thanks for your work, but unfortunately there are still problems:

1. You still change the file debian/dirs but give no explanation on why in the changelog.
2. You need to set the maintainer in debian/control to "Ubuntu Developers <email address hidden>" and preserver the Original maintainer in XSBC-Original-Maintainer. The script "update-maintainer" from ubuntu-dev-tools does that automatically.

Can you correct those issues? You can just leave an info here, I will change the things needed then, no need to reupload. Thanks.
