A few quick comments.
It's missing build-dependencies.
You should also check that it complies with latest policy 3.5.x.
Also, you should not change previous records in debian/changelog:
preserve history!
You install the generic installation instructions in /usr/share/doc:
this is not needed.
Nitpick: the long description should be different (more verbose)
than the short description.
Hope this helps.
