Please move <Copyright (C) 2007 David Mathog> onto a line on its own
and remove the weird angle brackets.
The software is GPL2 only, not GPL2 or later.

I agree, perhaps this could be placed in the upstream README?

You don't build it with -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE, why is that?
It would be good if there were a commented out DH_VERBOSE line in
there to enable easy debugging of debian/rules.
It would be good if you could write a Makefile with the following
targets and send it upstream:
all or build, clean, install, dist.
Be sure to support CFLAGS, PREFIX and DESTDIR in your Makefile since
debian/rules will need them. For extra points it should support
checking for solaris and compiling appropriately (see the comments in
nettee.c).

debian/docs: No need to distribute empty files nor a HTML copy of the
manual page.
If you want to distribute the pdist scripts, you should at least
customize them by using the right path to nettee. You can do this with
either sed or a patch system like quilt.
Upstream includes the binary in the tarball, please ask them to fix that.
