Right, I just don't want to get code from random repositories.

So. Looking at this one package, here's my review. I didn't check the
other ones, but please make sure that none of these same problems apply
to those too.

I can see some copyrights that aren't mentioned in debian/copyright:

I don't find Clement Lefebre, Sorokin Alexei or Martin Wimpress in the
source files anywhere.

Tianjin KYLIN Information Technology Co., Ltd. neither - is that the
entity which is claiming copyright on the packaging? If so, it would be
more understandable if you put this in a "Files: debian/*" block. Or
maybe they are the copyright holders of indicator-calendar/* or
indicator-desktop/* or src/*, none of which have their license statement
or copyright holders included. Could you please make the situation
clearer? One way would be to include a license header in the files,
another would be to document this in some other file in the repository.
And could you include a COPYING file please?

Packaging: I don't think ukui-indicators.postinst does anything. The
schema compiling should happen already via a dpkg trigger (in
libglib2.0-0). So please could you confirm that for yourselves and then
remove the file?

Trivial: Some files in debian/ have trailing whitespace and trailing new
lines. It'd be nice to remove those & maybe configure your editor to
highlight them.

debian/docs is empty.

debian/source/format: Unless you have a good reason or feel strongly, I
think it would be better to make this 3.0 (quilt) and do proper upstream
releases.

This last one is a big one. Please do *not* add any new code which
depends on webkit 1. This is old unmaintained code that contains
security vulnerabilities. All new webkit consumers need to be using
webkit 2 now. We will at some point soon (but probably not for zesty) be
attempting to remove the old webkit from Ubuntu completely.

  The UKUI Indicators is a small applet to display information from various applications consistently in the panel. The indicator applet exposes Ayatana Indicators in the UKUI Panel. Ayatana Indicators are an initiative by Canonical to provide crisp and clean system and application status indication. They take the form of an icon and associated menu, displayed (usually) in the desktop panel. Existing indicators include the Message Menu, Battery Menu and Sound menu.
