Hi Anthony,

thank you for joining the Debian forensics team.
You should change the package owner for rifiuti2 to "Debian Forensics
<forensics-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org>"

This way, it will appear on our QA packages overview page.

After that, we have to ask Daniel create a git repository for your
package on debian.net.

We do not use the git repo from alioth.debian.org because we had little
annoying problems with file permissions.
The counter part of that is that we have to ask Daniel each time we want
a package in the repo since it's yet set up to let us create
repositories.

Once that step is done, I can review your package but I'm a real
beginner in debian packaging, so once again, I rely on Daniel to fix
important mistakes (or small typos :-) ).

Finally, Daniel will upload the package to the Debian ftp-master new
queue.

I forgot, last but not least, do not be to hurry because I work on those
packages on my spare time and I don't have a lot of time. Daniel is also
very busy on a lot (how much exactly ? more than 100 if I remember) of
packages and other Debian things.

And for the conflicting name, I just suggest to change the name of your
binary to rifiuti2.
