SLES11 is shipped with Linux kernel 2.6.32, it's same as Squeeze.
So I thought Debian 6.0 is okay. But SLES11 "SP2" is 3.0.10.
Yes, probably you're right. It should be Wheezy+.
Anyway, let's ask to upstream to add Debian :)

Yes, its upstream one but proposal for upstream to improving is good
thing, IMO. And I said in previous mail, handling .conf file in post/pre
script is not good habit.

Okay.

You don't need to keep current changelog entries.
If you want to keep it, then version should be with epoch like 1:1.1-1.

Okay, but stay to set "unstable" is good manner in that case.

Thanks!

Yes, most of packagers think so, but debian/* matches debian/patches/* .
It'll cause unnecessary misunderstanding, and applying same license as
upstream can avoid it by default.
