No problem.
It's at mentors.

OK.
Some remarks:
1. You "Added a lintian override concerning a single CVS directory in the
upstream sources." This is an appropriate method to get rid of the
lintian warning. I personally would prefer to repack the upstream
tarball (and advise upstream how to release source tarballs).
2. In debian/compat you can use 5 as debhelper version. It does not
change anything (except that you will have to increase the debhelper
version in debain/control as well) but it would be reasonable to start
with the latest available compatibility version once you start a
new package.
3. I have no ral experience in packaging dynamic libraries. That's why
I was happy about d-shlibs which takes care for implementing the
policy correctly. If I where you I would give d-shlibmove a try.
4. I wonder what might be the sense of your debian/pycompat file.
5. Lintian keeps on shouting
W: libnifti0: package-name-doesnt-match-sonames libfslio0 libniftiio0 libznz0
because you did not moved the override file to /usr/share/lintian/overrides.
All these remarks are more or less cosmetical - no reason to hold back the
package. I admit that I'm unable to do some reasonable tests whether the
package works or not.
Kind regards and thanks for your work
Andreas.
