I cannot sponsor the package for you but I have some comments on it.
* You have created a very strange package with all of the debian/
directory in the .orig.tar.gz and an empty diff.gz. Please sort this
out as it will cause no end of headaches.
* The upstream code says that it uses some code from other projects,
but doesn't give their copyright and license information. You should
request that is added.
* Don't start the long description with a blank line in
debian/control.
* "or single frame snapshots running a web browser." is unclear to me,
please rewrite it.
* "See /usr/share/common-licenses for further informations" should
point to GPL. The usual string is
On Debian systems, the complete text of the GNU General
Public License can be found in `/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL'.
* Add a statement about the copyright and license for your Debian
packaging.
* You don't use DESTDIR in the install target, so that the build fails
as it installs the files to dirs that it can't write to.
