Uhm...

Others already commented on the lintian warning thing, however looking
at your package it doesn't qualify for main; as long as it downloads
some stuff it qualifies at most contrib, your changelog doesn't actually
describe your changes, you seem to install a copy of the GPL, and you
use md5sums, which are considered weak, so please use stronger checksums.
