I'm not very keen on python so I really have no idea about what
packaging python libraries require (it is actually confusing the fact
that there are three debhelpers for it: dh_python, dh_pysupport and
dh_pycentral).
I took a quick look at your package and here are some notes:
* Doesn't seem to require python-all-dev:
------------

* dh_python isn't used:
------
...
dh_fixperms
dh_pycentral
dh_python
dh_python: Doing nothing since dh_pycompat exists; dh_pysupport or
dh_pycentral should do the work. You can remove dh_python from your
rules file.
dh_installdeb
...
------
* .orig contains a debian/ directory, please contact upstream and tell
them ship the man page as upstream and not ship the debian directory
in their tarballs (it is not recommended and it _IS_ the real source
of lintian's warning: debian/files is in upstream's tarball).
* .orig.tar.gz and upstream's .tar.gz differ (and they shouldn't):
$ md5sum *0.5*.tar.gz
345d735076c6dda6a86db604612c6f39 wxglade_0.5.orig.tar.gz
705855ef251053bd6b032bc5667cea19 wxGlade-0.5.tar.gz
* there's a new upstream version
I personally recommend you to either contact upstream so they don't
ship debian/ and make a new package from scratch (preserving the
changelog file). If you have any doubt you can always ask on
debian-mentors@l.d.o or even ask your co-maintainer (he's a DD
anyway).
