Hi,
some notes from a short look at the package:

- You have to build-depend on libgtk2.0-cil, libgnome2.0-cil and
libglade2.0-cil at least, please try to build the package in pbuilder to
see if you catched all build dependencies

- You have to call dh_clideps -d somewhere after dh_shlibdeps

- You have to add ${cli:Depends} to the binary package dependencies

- You should call dh_clifixperms to fix the permissions on the CLI files

- The package is architecture all, not any (i.e. arch independend)

The second and third point are necessary to give you appropiate package
dependencies.

Please take a look at the cowbell, gshare, tomboy, banshee or similar
CLI packages to give you some ideas on how to package CLI apps.

Also take a look at http://pkg-mono.alioth.debian.org/cli-policy/


Bye
