Thanks a lot Andrew for the thorough review.

I've addressed all points and I've only got a question.

Updated .dsc file (for raring, see inline comment):
https://launchpad.net/~qreator-hackers/+archive/qreator-stable/+files/qreator_13.05.3-0ubuntu1.dsc

Ok. Done.

I'm currently on raring and the way I've been doing uploads to the PPA
is to create the raring source package, upload it there and then copy
the binaries across all other distro series in the PPA.

Therefore the upload target is still raring. Is there a way the uploader
can change the upload target? Or which workflow would you recommend for
me to create the saucy .dsc file and put it in a public place accessible
to ubuntu-sponsors?

Sorry if this is an obvious question, but my packaging experience is
limited.

Done. Did a couple of upstream bugfix releases and updated the upstream
version too.

All done.

Done.

> 4) debian/copyright has a few minor issues:
>    -  You don't need to list "Copyright" multiple times in the same paragraph. (See example)
>    -  You should include a license snippet, not just a link to the common-licenses file. (See example)
>    - See: http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/

All done.

Excellent, thanks!

Title:
  [needs-packaging] qreator

Status in Qreator:
  Triaged
Status in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I'd like to request inclusion of the Qreator package in universe.

  # About Qreator

  - A QR code creator
  - GPL-3, written in Python and GTK+, uses python-distutils-extra
  - Home: https://launchpad.net/qreator
  - Stable releases PPA: https://launchpad.net/~qreator-hackers/+archive/qreator-stable/
  - Available in extras for Ubuntu 12.04, but since the ARB process is ongoing changes due to the new app upload story, I'd like to get Qreator available in universe for Q, R and S

  # About this request

  - I've read the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages#Going_through_MOTU
  - I've had an initial chat with MOTUs on #ubuntu-motu
  - I'd like to eventually get Qreator into Debian. However, that requires some work in the code to remove Ubuntu-specific dependencies (e.g. it uses the Software Centre database API) that would need to be disabled first. That will still take me a while, and in the meantime I'd like to make Qreator available to users nevertheless.
  - .dsc to get sponsored: https://launchpad.net/~qreator-hackers/+archive/qreator-stable/+files/qreator_13.05.1.dsc
  - I'm on #ubuntu-motu and other Ubuntu-related channels, generally on CET times (nick: dpm)
