You should probably write this manual yourself and send them. They
probably won't write it themself cause they don't need it ;)

Here goes my suggestions:
debian/*:
- Please remove those templates (*.ex files) if you don't use them.
debian/changelog:
- You should fill ITP bug first and then close it with your changelog entry
(http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/)
- Why do you want to call this package yaffa-alpha? Simple yaffa would
be enough imho. You can include word alpha in version number if you
really want to show users that it is still alpha.
debian/control:
- The newest Standard-Version is 3.6.1, you should bump your version.
- Short description should not include name of application.
- Remove ${misc:Depends} cause you don't use it.
- Add autotools-dev if you use configure.(sub|guess) in your rules file.
- That's not necesarry but please include URL to homepage in description.
debian/copyright:
- Copyrights belongs to authors and not to license.
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2004/debian-devel-200403/msg02190.html
debian/dirs:
- Are you sure you need both of those directories?
debian/menu.ex:
- You probably want to use it so rename it to menu and adjust.
debian/rules:
- Make it look as your rules and not template. Remove unneded comments
and dh_*'s
That's all for now ;)
I hope it'll help you somehow.
regards
