Fixed these issues. I've uploaded a new package to mentors.
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/debpool
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main 
contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/debpool/debpool_0.3.6.dsc

I had started by incrementing the version number to 0.2.4, 0.2.5, and so on. 
Eventually, there were so many changes that I left all changes done since 
version 0.2.3 in one entry, thus the reason why there's such a big version 
bump.

OK, I removed this field. Since I don't have a regular sponsor for debpool, 
I'm hoping someone will eventually allow that field to stay in place.

Fixed this, although lintian 2.0.0 doesn't report this.
