I am not a Debian developer, but just happened to see your package. I
have the following remarks/questions.

* Why is your package a native package? Please see section 5.4 of the
  developer's reference, if you are unaware of what I mean, but in
  short, Debian packages are usually non-native if they are not
  specific to Debian (exceptions exist). If there is no compelling
  reason for this package to be a native one, please make it an
  `ordinary' one.
* Please correct "Standards-Version". Also, use 3.7.3, as it is the
  most recent one.
* Your package should be `Architecture: all'.
* You really shouldn't be packaging a Python application or module
  without using the Python tools for Debian, viz. Python Central and
  Python Support. Please refer to the manuals and use them.
  /usr/share/doc/python-support/README.gz makes a good read.
  See some example Python applications to get an idea; here are a few:
  http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=python-apps-team@lists.alioth.debian.org
  Of course, consider joining the Python Application Team as well.

Hope the input is useful.
