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

I think this question proves you didn't read debian policy, developers

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.
