I've taken a look at your package, and have the following comments, from
important to nitpicks:

* The package is a debian native package although it's not Debian
  specific. That situation is by many considered undesirable, as
  has been discussed on this list and other places a couple of times;
  see the archives. I suggest you "release" a tarball of your
  program and package that as a non-native package.

* Building the package yields a huge warning:
  ########################################################
  Your package does not conform to the new Python policy.
  Please consider updating.  Here is some documentation:
  http://wiki.debian.org/DebianPython/NewPolicy
  http://wiki.debian.org/DebianPythonFAQ
  ########################################################

* The file 'README' mentions a set of years that's disjunct from the
  years mentioned in 'debian/copyright', and 'copyright' mentions
  an interval that covers both. What is it?

* You install README under /usr/share/doc but it doesn't provide
  relevant information for Debian users (e.g. build info) that isn't
  available already.

* copyright mentions "All rights reserved", but not all rights
  are reserved as mentioned below that. "Some rights reserved"
  may be better.

* LICENCE has an outdated FSF street address.

That's it for now, good luck!
