According to the files under src/ you aren't upstream :)

debian/changelog: fill an ITP and make the package upload close it.
debian/control:
* "Standards-Version: 3.7.2" , latest is 3.7.3, please check what
changes you need to make so you update it to latest.
* "Architecture: i386", why? does it really only build under i386?
* "Depends: libcurl3-gnutls (>= 7.16), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.14)" don't
use versioned dependencies if not required, let dh_shlibdeps do its
job.
* "Build-Depends:" again, are versioned build dependencies really required?
* "Description:", please improve it, read [1][2]
* "Section: web"? it should be net, it is not a web application
* Please add a Homepage entry
debian/rules: please remove commented/unused stuff
debian/dirs: is there anything installed under sbin?
debian/docs: you should probably list CONTRIBUTORS too
Please also provide a debian/watch file, see uscan(1) from devscripts
.diff.gz:
--- yougrabber-0.29.2.orig/Makefile
+++ yougrabber-0.29.2/Makefile
Why are you providing a Makefile? debian-packaging stuff should be under debian/
--- yougrabber-0.29.2.orig/changelog
+++ yougrabber-0.29.2/changelog
why are you duplicating CHANGELOG?
--- yougrabber-0.29.2.orig/src/Makefile
+++ yougrabber-0.29.2/src/Makefile
Have you submitted those changes to upstream?
$ debc yougrabber_0.29.2-1_i386.changes

I strongly recommend you to read and understand the whole Debian
Policy[4] and the Developers Reference[5], if you have any question
feel free to reply to the list (and don't CC me) or even join
