Sounds good to have this.

Agree. Also, binary ones sounds better for me; or if someone would like
to reinvent the wheel, then please do it in Python instead of Perl.
Anyway, the package may use debhelper compatibility level 5, but that
would make Sarge backports a very bit 'harder'. The latest
Policy-Version is 3.7.2, please recheck your package against it. Also I
don't know if it matters, but if its GPL-2 licensed, then the license
path has the '-2' postfix. Also, I dislike to use DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE and
DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE, but others may override my opinion.
For the watch file you may better use:
http://qa.debian.org/watch/sf.php?project=foobar foobar-([\d.]*).tar.gz
It looks OK otherwise.
Cheers,
