debian/control:
Build-Depends-Indep: autotools-dev
I don't like if packages configure themselves during build. If
you want me to sponsor, then please provide a proper tarball
with a configure script that doesn't need to be rebuilt; then
drop the build-dep.
remove /^Depends:[[:space:]]*/
I would appreciate a short note about how this compares to other
methods, like backupninja.
Also: the short description ("A modular backup utility") is
repeated in the long description; just delete the first sentence
and s/It/vbackup/.
What does *v* stand for?
debian/copyright:
Are you sure you want "either version 2 of the License, or (at
your option) any later version."? I personally don't support GPLv3
and thus limit all my GPL software to v2.
debian/rules:
It says:
# Sample debian/rules that uses debhelper.
but it's not.
Please also remove extraneous comments.
Finally, lintian says:
W: vbackup: doc-base-unknown-section vbackup:6 admin
you should always make sure lintian produces no warnings and/or
errors before asking for sponsorship.
> Also, should I change the status of it in sponsors and mentors

Usually you get a sponsor and then work with her/him. I am not ready
to say that I will take on sponsorship because I'd need to be using
vbackup for that to happen, and I have not looked at it yet.
