Wow. An update to an oldstable package. ;-)
Having a closer look I find:
1.) Standards-Version is still at 3.9.1. Should be bumped to 3.9.2
2.) README.Debian doesn't need to be added to docs. Moreover the file should
be named "docs" not "doc"
3.) I wonder why there's a configure, but no config.guess and config.sub. In
case they should be there, adding autotools-dev to build-depends and dh call
in debian/rules would be preferred.
4.) Converting debian/copyright to DEP-5 would be a bonus.
The link to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL needs to have a GPL version
number.
Moreover the GPLv2 statements upstream all have the old FSF address and
should be updated.
5.) Your debian/watch fails to fetch the latest version.
The correct line would be:
http://sf.net/gtimer/gtimer-([\d\.]+)\.tar.*
I've fixed 2.) and 5.) and built, signed, uploaded your package.
