Some remarks:

- you should file an ITP bug against wnpp (and close it in the
  changelog). 

- Upstream should not just put a copy of the GPL into the tarball, but
  state somewhere that he wants this license to be applied to the work.

- debian/copyright: 

"Copyright: GNU Ceneral Public License" is wrong. Copyright indicates
the owner of the copyright, i.e. the upstream author. After that, you
should put something like 

,----
| This is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the

`----

- debian/fityk.1:

Have you submitted the manpage upstream?

- debian/control:

You should use the current standards-version, there might also some
changes be needed for this (upgrade-checklist.txt.gz).

- debian/rules:

  * See section 10.1 of Policy for the CFLAGS setting
  * Please remove the commented lines 

Besides that, it looks nice.
