Your previous .diff.gz had CVS entries and listed 3.5.6 as the
Standards-Version, the current one doesn't anymore.
lintian will still give a warning when you run it over your .changes
file, but this warning will not be issued when you just check the
.deb (-> maintainer-upload-has-incorrect-version-number). Use "lintian
-i" for details, and always check the .changes, see "man lintian":

debhelper, not the perl dependency:

According to Policy a B-D-I doesn't have to be satisfied when the
clean target is invoked, so it might happen you invoke "debian/rules
clean" and it fails since it cannot find dh_clean. This is pretty much
not going to happen, yet it should be thought of.
Using dh_clean is fine as long you have a B-D on debhelper.
