Try using linda and lintian to get it into shape:
#> lintian -i splat_0.2-1_i386.changes
W: splat source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.6.0
N:
N: The source package refers to a 'Standards-Version' that is starting
N: to get out of date, compared to current Policy. You can safely
N: ignore this warning, but please consider updating the package to
N: current Policy.
3.6.1 is current, fyi.
E: splat source:
depends-on-build-essential-package-without-using-version make
[build-depends: make]
N:
N: The package declares a depends on a build essential package without
N: using a versioned depends. In general a package should not depend on
N: build essential packages but if it must do so, the depends should have
N: a version string.

N: Refer to Policy Manual, section 4.2 for details.
This simply means that you don't need (and actually shouldn't)
build-depend on packages which are installed as dependencies of
"build-essential". Remove "make" from the list of build-dependencies and
you are done with this error.
W: splat: unquoted-string-in-menu-item /usr/lib/menu/splat needs:2
N:
N: The menu item includes a tag with an unquoted string like
N: section=Games instead of section="Games". This is deprecated. Use a
N: quoted string instead.
N:
N: Refer to menu 3.2 for details.
W: splat: unquoted-string-in-menu-item /usr/lib/menu/splat section:2
You should quote "X11" and "Apps/Technical".
With the current version, linda doesn't report anything lintian didn't
report, but that's not always the case (and vice-versa).
