Hi Alessio! The change here looks good however the debdiff does not apply:

$ patch -R -p1 < ../*debdiff
patching file debian/rules
patching file debian/changelog
patching file debian/dirs
can't find file to patch at input line 35
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|diff -u eboard-1.0.3/debian/eboard.desktop eboard-1.0.3/debian/eboard.desktop
|--- eboard-1.0.3/debian/eboard.desktop
|+++ eboard-1.0.3/debian/eboard.desktop
--------------------------
File to patch:

It looks like the problem is that in Ubuntu's eboard there is no eboard.desktop, however in your debdiff it is attempting to patch it, rather than add it. Can you please fix this in your debdiff?

I would also recommend a more detailed entry in your debian/changelog:

  * Add .desktop file
  * Add pixmaps/eboard.xpm
  * Ubuntu maintainer switch

Thanks, once you've made these updates I'll be happy to upload this for you! :-)
