Hello,
There is already a package with this name in the archive:

*prompt* apt-cache show yydecode
Package: yydecode
Priority: optional
Section: utils
Installed-Size: 88
Maintainer: Itai Zukerman <zukerman@debian.org>
Architecture: i386
Version: 0.2.7-1
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4)
Filename: pool/main/y/yydecode/yydecode_0.2.7-1_i386.deb
Size: 13402
MD5sum: b4f75ea31a8b04da0d8e52105482f77e
Description: decode yEnc archives
 yydecode works almost identically to the infamous uudecode program, but
 for yEnc encoded archives.

Is your package related to this one, how does it compare it? BTW recent
versions of uudeview can also decode yy.
