1.
from debian/changelog:
stress (0.18.2-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Update policy level to 3.6.1.0.  Closes: #269512.

But #269512 is your ITP. Please ONLY ever close bug reports relevant to
the changelog entry like this.

Also for an initial upload I'd prefer to have only one revision in the
changelog, mainly stating "Initial Release (Closes: #269512)" and what
you changed in the upstream software to make the Debian Package.

2. Please remove the commented calls to dh_* in debian/rules (at least
those you are very unlikely to ever use in further version of the
package).

3. <nitpick> debian/copyright: It looks somewhat strange to have "This package was
debianized..." and then you as the Upstream Author. In this special case
you can probably combine these two sentences. But please still provide a
link to the upstream homepage for reference. </nitpick>
