Lintian reports a few issues that you should address:

  W: libchart-php source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.8.0 (current is 3.9.1)
  I: libchart-php: description-synopsis-might-not-be-phrased-properly
  I: libchart-php: extended-description-is-probably-too-short

Also, you should use a version number in the form
${upstream_version}-${debian_version} (i.e. 1.2.2-1).

And your debian/changelog entry is incomplete, you should have a bug
number in the "(Closes: #nnnn)" part (submit a bug against wnpp if you
didn't already, see http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/ ).

Cheers,
