Could you please do us a favour and
a) upload your upstream tarball to sf.net
b) commit the packaging to Debian Med version control system
(SVN or Git at your personal preference) - if you have no
idea how to do this please read the according chapter in our
team policy[1] and ask back if you might face some showstoppers.

I guess it will be quite simple to fix but I see no point in
establishing a different workflow to what we are usually working.
I probably would like to commit some changes to your packaging
but I can't to a download tarball as you are providing.

Probably not. You are lacking an install file.

Yep, there are several examples for library packaging in our Git and
SVN. For libraries I'm usually recommending d-shlibs and you can grep
for this if you check out the SVN packaging tree. In Git we have
bambamc, bamtools and snp-sites as examples.

I promise to help but only for the usual workflow - so please follow our
team policy[1] and commit your packaging.
Kind regards
