RE: Could someone sanity-check my first .debs?

Have you used lintian on the debs?  it points out most mistakes people make.

Then install the deb (make sure you do not have a copy of it elsewhere).  Do
things still work that use the package?  Then remove it and re-install it.  DO
things still behave?
