we might have been celebrating too early -- that previous version FTBFS due to
CXX expdesign-measurements_cb.o
CXX expdesign-loadsave.o
expdesign-loadsave.cc:16:41: fatal error: boost/property_tree/ptree.hpp: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[6]: *** [expdesign-loadsave.o] Error 1

So I would mandate you to double-check that your package builds fine in a clean
environment before seeking sponsorship! ;)
http://neuro.debian.net/blog/2012/2012-04-14_ndtools.html might be of interest
as well if you would like to make sure it builds for recent ubuntu releases as
well
just so that you know that due to libconfig++-dev (>= 1.4.8) it would not
build on ubuntu releases. is 1.3 series good enough? then that one was
provided by versioned libconfig++8-dev

could you elaborate on this? policy actually says to include upstream changelog whenever available:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s-changelogs
12.7 Changelog files
If an upstream changelog is available, it should be accessible as /usr/share/doc/package/changelog.gz in plain text.
so what did lintian say to you?

see above ;)
