Some comments:
1) Don't put the soname in the name of the -dev package, unless you are
really sure it is needed. It complicates SONAME transitions.
Unfortunately library packaging docs are in flux right now, but see
for example the message
http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2011/03/msg00357.html
2) Same for the doc file; I see less downsides here to the versioning, but
convention is to to have unversioned doc files.
3) I see you install docs into /usr/share/doc/jansson instead of
/usr/share/libjansson4-doc. I'm not sure that this is a bug, but it
is bit unusual. Can you explain/justify this?
4) It could be nice to install
test/bin/json_process.c
as an example (see e.g. man dh_installexamples); no makefile or anything
is needed.
5) licenscheck --copyright src suggests one more copyright holder that
could be added to debian/copyright.
6) I'm not sure about saying C library rather than just "library" in the
short description. Perhaps it betrays my age, but for me that is the
default. But I'm willing to convinced if there is some advantage to
the user.
That is all I see now. Feel free to just push changes to git.debian.org;
I prefer to work from the git repo in any case.
