I had a closer look at your package, and additionally to David's
comments, I noticed the following:

 - In debian/control, libgis-bin should depend on ${shlibs:Depends}
   instead of listing all the libraries explicitly. And I don't think
   libgis-doc should Depend on libgis (but it could Recommend it, and
   libgis could Suggest libgis-doc).

 - In debian/docs, remove the ChangeLog entry; it is installed and
   gzipped automatically.

 - You should delete debian/lintian.txt (after reading it :-) ).

Cheers,
