+  TODO:
+  - general remarks:
+    + please use dh-make-perl from unstable or from git (for the latter cf.
+      "dh-make-perl-dev()" in https://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/tips.html#3__functions
+      this would have avoided some of the following issued (marked with [D]
+      below)
+    + please always run lintian against the created .changes file.
+      (lintian tags added below as [L: ...])
+  - d/changelog: a new package first need an ITP bug which is then closes in
+    the changelog via "Initial Release. Closes: #nnnnnnn"
+    [L: new-package-should-close-itp-bug]
+    `dpt gen-itp' might be helpful
+  - d/copyright:
+    + please remove disclaimer at the top, as the disclaimer says :)
+      [L: copyright-contains-dh-make-perl-boilerplate]
+    + please complete section for "Files: *", "Copyright: unknown" / License:"
+      is wrong. [L: empty-short-license-in-dep5-copyright]
+      from reading lib/String/Scanf.pm, this should be:
+        Files: *
+        Copyright: 2002, 2004, Jarkko Hietaniemi
+        License: Artistic or GPL-1+
+    + the URL in the Format: field should be
+      'https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/'
+      (s/hhtp/https/)
+      [D]
+  - d/control:
+    + short description says "unknown" which is wrong. please note that
+      the short description should be a noun phrase and start with a small
+      letter, e.g. "module to ..."
+      [L: description-too-short]
+    + the long description end with dh-make-perl boilerplate. please remove.
+      [L: description-contains-dh-make-perl-template]
+      before that, the sentence end with a colon as if a list was to follow
+      ...
+    + Standards-Version should be 3.9.8
+      [D] [L: out-of-date-standards-version]
+    + Vcs-Git should be 'https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-perl/packages/libstring-scanf-perl.git'
+      [D] [L: vcs-field-uses-insecure-uri]
+  - metacpan: the URL in d/watch, d/copyright, and d/control is correct in
+    theory but doesn't work in practice. this happens sometimes that a perl
+    dist is not on metacpan. please replace
+    'https://metacpan.org/release/String-Scanf' with 'http://search.cpan.org/dist/String-Scanf/'
+    in all 3 files. (this was discovered by duck and by uscan)
+
 
   * Initial Release.
