Well, actually there's a bit of things that you must change.

- Please remove all the .ex files of the debian/ directory, that you're
not using.

- You must create a manpage for this program.

- The README.Debian is not telling me any useful information.

- You ship an empty /usr/sbin directory. Please remove from debian/dirs.

- Last Standards-Version is 3.6.1

- You have a wrong changelog name for this native package.

That's for start.

Good Luck,
Bruno.
