I don't think that is an appropriate use of NEWS.Debian, documenting
them in the patch headers should be enough. You might want to check
policy/devref about this though.
Some other things:
You install intro.html but not the css/images in html_assets/.
Might want to ask upstream to fix install.sh a bit so you can use it:
support something like automake/autoconf's --prefix and DESTDIR.
install the html and intro where a command-line parameter says.
fix it to make /usr/local the default prefix since /usr is for system packages
You don't specify which version of the GPL the packaging is under.
Listing all the distros supported may not be a good idea because this
will change over time and thus add work for those translating Debian
package descriptions.
Please add some debtags:

Please also add a screenshot of 0.22-1 (make sure to put in the right version):
