Hmm. You'd really need to include the Debian diff (.diff.gz) and
preferably the .dsc file too before we can take a proper look at it, as
otherwise we can't really tell if the way you're building the package is
correct (and you'll need to upload these if you become a Debian
developer anyway). The upstream tarball should then be called
mp3html-1.3.8.orig.tar.gz. (If you use dpkg-buildpackage or debuild,
they'll produce the appropriate files for you.)
The resulting .deb looks fair enough to me, though.
(Disclaimer: I'm only in the new-maintainer queue myself, I'm not a
developer yet.)
