debian/changelog:
Should be "* Initial release" as in the template and it should close the
ITP bug. I can't even find an ITP for this package which is quite bad
since most sponsors (including me) want to have a clean ITP. Please see
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp fore more information.
Right. I was unsure about closing the bug. btw, the ack ITP was in CC. Fixed.
debian/control:
Architecture: any means that the package can be compiled on all
[...]
is please use Architecture: all, this will produce exactly one package
which is enough.
done. Subsidiary question: Is it true for python packages also? I could not find any clue in Python policy.
use something like
* Item1
You could also add the upstream URL to the description as it's
done, done.
debian/copyright:
Hmmm, all that stuff looks very short and in the source tree I can't
really find a License anywhere. So I guess you will have a problem to
bring this in Debian as long is it doesn't have a clear license which is
DFSG compatible.
It is since it uses Perl-like license. Please check again, the README
file and the ack source file mention it (as well as the generated man page)
The rest I think looks more or less ok, I didn't try the package yet but
please fix those cosmetical issues first please.
