Just a few additional comments, now that I've finished building your
package:

  - lintian -I --pedantic qasmixer_0.12.0-3_amd64.changes reports:

      W: qasmixer source: empty-debian-diff
      I: qasmixer source: missing-debian-source-format
      W: qasmixer source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.8.4 (current is 3.9.2)
      I: qasmixer source: debian-watch-file-is-missing
      I: qasmixer: spelling-error-in-binary usr/bin/qasmixer informations information
      E: qasmixer: helper-templates-in-copyright
      E: qasmixer: copyright-contains-dh_make-todo-boilerplate
      W: qasmixer: description-synopsis-starts-with-article
      W: qasmixer: extended-description-line-too-long
      I: qasmixer: extended-description-is-probably-too-short
      W: qasmixer: unknown-section multimedia
      W: qasmixer: extra-license-file usr/share/qasmixer/COPYING

  - There's also a warning from dpkg-shlibdeps at the end of the build
    process:

      dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libQtXml.so.4 could be avoided if "debian/qasmixer/usr/bin/qasmixer" were not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols).

    You should check whether you can fix it.

Cheers,
