Hello,

This is a correct way to do it. However, be sure to check the
differences between the two upstream versions. For example, if
upstream ships new examples you should install them.
Also, if this is your first package, it may be a good idea to fix bugs
in the current package (ie prepare 0.99.14-4), rather than preparing a
new upstream version.

As you use the "3.0 (quilt)" format, you don't need to include quilt
in your build-deps. This was needed before 3.0, when packages used
quilt explicitly. In debian/rules, you should get rid of --with quilt
too.

I had a quick look at debian/control and have a few remarks :
- the Vcs-* fields should point to where the packaging is done, not
to the upstream VCS.
- adding libgpod as an explicit dependency to gtkpod is not needed
as normally shlib:Depends should include it
- gtkpod-data should not depend on shlib:Depends (it contains only
images and stuff like that, nothing executable). I don't think
that python:Depends is necessary (the only python script is an
example).
As for the dh_shlibdeps problem : it complains about a missing
libgtkpod (note : different from libgpod). I believe that it is
because you don't install it (you took gtkpod.install directly from
gtkpod_0.99.14).
Hope that helps !
