Hi Georgi!
I am commenting on this package and libanon too.
Please, file an ITP when working on a package. This avoid that someone
else works on it. After having filed an ITP, close it in your changelog.
Update your package to Standards-Version 3.7.3. It should require no
other change. Add the Homepage field in debian/control. This will add a
link in PTS. For libanon, add final point at the end of sentences. You
should also leave a blank line before "This package contains...".
NEWS is empty, don't ship it. You can also drop README since it contains
no data of interest. Copyright information is already in
debian/copyright and build instruction are of no use for users of binary
packages.
Remove the fact that debian/rules is a sample. Also drop CFLAGS setting,
dpkg-buildpackage do it itself. Remove unused dh_* call (instead of just
commenting them out). Remove also some comments whose goals are just to
help you to write debian/rules. For libanon, remove version stuff since
your library is unversioned.
There is a dependency on OpenSSL. Because of license restriction in
OpenSSL, upstream should add an exception allowing his code to be linked
with OpenSSL. There is also a missing dependency on pkg-config (the
OpenSSL check of configure fails without this one) for libanon. There is
a missing dependency on libpcap-dev for snmpdump.
The clean target leaves config.log. libanon-dev ships an empty
/usr/share/man/man1 directory. Remove it from dirs. You should also
patch manual page of snmpdump because hyphens are used as minus signs. I
get those information from lintian. Use it with "-viI" options.
Add a watch file too. This is pretty convenient to track if your package
is up-to-date.
