In principle yes (I need to know the answer to my "get sources" question
above to be sure).

I'd call this normal since binaries are stripped (man dh_strip).

You need to create an account on alioth.debian.org first and ask for
becoming added to the Debian Med team.

This repository does not yet exist ... I just "invented" this string for
the moment. :-)

We are packaging the source which is mentioned in d/watch (this is
connected to my "get sources" question). If *you* (as an educated
person about the code) decide to package a fork for whatever reason
this for should be fetched with d/watch and you should document the
reasons for this in the file debian/README.source.

I'm afraid I do not understand this question. (BTW, I just uploaded vxl
to unstable.)

Yes, it is. (Just for the wording: I would have said here in this
mail
s/I've opened a new thread on/I filed an ITP bug/
... and I would not refer to the thread on debian-devel but rather
to #759244)

The ITP bug is not really relevant for this since once the package the
bug is closed and forgotten. Please make sure you document things
properly inside the package (README.source).
Kind regards
Andreas.
