Thank you. Some comments follow.

You need to let-bind commit and revision (set to "0" initially) around
here.

Here, you should use

  (git-version "1.0" revision commit)

This should be

  (commit commit)

You also need to add `cscope' as an input, and patch "xscope.el" so
`cscope-program' point to the proper binary, using
`emacs-substitute-variables'. See, e.g., emacs-plz package for an
example.

cscope -> Cscope. You can also drop (X) from (X)Emacs.

This should be a full sentence (with proper capitalization).

License is actually license:gpl2+, per headers in xscope.el file.

  Hmmmmm…

Could you send an updated patch, with another location for the package
definition, and a proper commit message?
