Hello,
Thanks for your work here. Please address the following Lintian output, especially the error and the warnings:
E: noctalia: python3-script-but-no-python3-dep python3 (does not satisfy python3:any | python3-minimal:any) [usr/share/noctalia/assets/templates/kde/apply.py]
N:
N: Packages with Python3 scripts should depend on the package python3. Those
N: with scripts that specify a specific version of Python3 must depend,
N: recommend or suggest on that version of Python3 (exactly).
N:
N: For example, if a script in the package uses #!/usr/bin/python3, the
N: package needs a dependency on python3. If a script uses
N: #!/usr/bin/python3.8, the package needs a dependency on python3.8. A
N: dependency on python (>= 3.8) is not correct, since later versions of
N: Python may not provide the /usr/bin/python3.8 binary.
N:
N: If you are using debhelper, adding ${python3:Depends} to the Depends field
N: and ensuring dh_python3 is run during the build should take care of adding
N: the correct dependency.
N:
N: In some cases a weaker relationship, such as Suggests or Recommends, will
N: be more appropriate.

N: a manual page
N:
N: Note that though the man program has the capability to check for several

N:
N: If the name of the manual page differs from the binary by case, man may be

N:
N: If the manual pages are provided by another package on which this package

N:
N: If the string containing the spelling error is translated with the help of
N: gettext or a similar tool, please fix the error in the translations as
N: well as the English text to avoid making the translations fuzzy. With

N:
N: The source file includes a line length that is well beyond the normally
N: human made code line length.
N:
N: This very long line length does not allow Lintian to do correctly some
N: source file checks.
N:
N: This line could also be the result of some text injected by a computer
N: program, and thus could lead to FTBFS bugs.
N:
N: Last but not least, long line in source code could be used to obfuscate
N: the source code and to hide stuff like backdoors or security problems.
N:
N: It could be due to jslint source comments or other build tool comments.

N: other third-party m4 macro files such as libtool.
N:
N: When paired with automake, there may also be some intermediate
N: Makefile.in files.
N:
N: A lot of sources potentially contain such files, but they are
N: not actionable by either the Debian distributor or by the
N: upstream maintainer.
N:
N: As a side note, modern Debian build protocols will re-create
N: many of those files via dh_autoreconf. They are present merely

Otherwise, this package does compile cleanly, and the copyright looks okay on a first glance.
Please remove the moreinfo tag from this bug once you have another iteration done. Feel free to CC me, and if I'm available, I'll take another look.
