is this a new package? I can't find it in our archive or an ITP for it.

if upstream has a version standard, use that, bu you can also use
dates for version.

You have to create a non-native package, that's the reason for
"source-nmu-has-incorrect-version-number"

I think this question proves you didn't read debian policy, developers
reference and new maintainers guide: please fill this gap of knowledge
asap, and before asking further questions.

you MUST add your name if you want to be the maintainer. That's th
reason for "xburst-tools source" lintian error.

remove spuriours, auto-generated files in clean debian/rules target.

English is very important for debian communication, so I strongly
suggest to improve your english.

Read teh doc I've mentioned above and use debian-mentors, not -devel.
