Sorry, in the second try
"Directory Listing Denied,
This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed."
is no acceptable answer to GET

I'd say develop your webpages and find users and friends of your program
and go ahead with it.
There are means to make your apt-get'table program available to users on
registers of unofficial apt-get sites. I can't give you details, don't
know them - my net connection is not good.
The files in your diff file look nice and you seem to try to do proper
work. I had no chance to see the source.
atanks (1.1.0-1) is at least unusual for an Initial Release.
install debian-policy.
debian/changelog expects you to mention when you add a manpage.
Check debian/copyright.
Reading your debian/rules brought the dh_strip manpage back to me [1].
A debhelper based debian package may find other ways to handle nostrip.
hack looks dangerous to me, but i have no experience with strace under
that conditions.
You found packaging manual and other documentation already? Search the
websites, google, _*the pkg-archive*_ - may the source be with you :-)
Try the mailing list archives on www.d.o and elsewhere, reading in
debian-devel can enhance your english vocabulary incredibly and
together with -mentors teach you lots about the 'unwritten' procedures
and measures towards quality.
Personally i don't have many games packages installed. There may
be users of Debian that do have and may well enjoy a knowlegable handled
package from you.
Debian developers like anybody who is going to help improve any of the
workareas they love or simply do. While KDE really has some
source code to show. ;) does helping with Debian webpages certainly give
you experience you'd search for.
However you gain the experience, i hope that you staying with Debian
will be enyoing and enlightening for you, the community and Debian
developers.
Have a nice day,

G.Marx - These are my opinions. If you don't like them, i have others.
