If we are talking about :
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/x/xc3sprog/xc3sprog_0.5.0-4.dsc
(always give the url to your dsc file)
then, please:
1) install the copyright file into the deb package (lintian will be happy,
since this is a policy `must')
2) your copyright file should look like:
This package was debianized by $YOU <$email@address> on $date.
It was downloaded from: $URL
Upstream Author: $AUTHOR <$email@address>

3) use debhelper compatibility level 5, and build-depend on debhelper (>= 5)
4) do not ship the elf binary of `debug' with the source package
Otherwise the package looks fine to me, and I hope you will find a sponsor!
