hmm, the package you uploaded to mentors.d.o has several problems:

 * There is a patch debian/patches/debian-changes-0.3.4-1 adding
autotool-files. These files probably need to be cleaned. I see that they
are mentioned in make clean, so make clean should be called from
debian/rules.
 * The Description field contains „Short description of augeas“
 * The cabal field defines a binary depending on HUnit. This should not
be built (e.g. by patching the .cabal file), unless you really want to
run the tests on build.
 * If that is intentional the package needs build dependencies.
 * The LICENSE file say LGPL-2.1+, but debian/copyright says LGPL-3.
 * The Closes: in debian/changelog should refer to Debian bugs or none
at all.

But as I said, you don’t have to worry about the packaging if the DHG
does it. But before we do, we need to at least know what’s up with the
license.

Greetings,
Joachim
