Until now I haven't seen any ITP "bug report". Please do this at first.

Then please start with a fresh debian/changelog which show the resolved
ITP "bug" with "Closes: #...."

Checking of the file debian/rules I see:

  build:
	dh_testdir
	./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-soundmenu --disable-soundmenu2
	dh_auto_build
	dh_auto_test

but than you use the new way with "dh $@". Please search for a way using:
*  override_dh_auto_build
*  override_dh_auto_configure

Details see here:

Another point: What is the advantage of xnoise to other similar programs?

Have a nice day.
