(I am not an debian developer, so I cannot upload your package) -
That said - You are upstream too for this package? It would be very nice
to provide a upstream changelog - lintian (from unstable) if run as
lintian -iIE --pedantic ./libspctag_0.1-1_amd64.changes
complains about this too. Full lintian output:
P: libspctag0: no-upstream-changelog
N:
N: The package does not install an upstream changelog file. If upstream
N: provides a changelog, it should be accessible as
N: /usr/share/doc/<pkg>/changelog.gz.
N:
N: It's currently unclear how best to handle multiple binary packages
from
N: the same source. Some maintainers put a copy of the upstream changelog
N: in each package, but it can be quite long. Some include it in one
N: package and add symlinks to the other packages, but this requires
there
N: be dependencies between the packages. Some only include it in a
N: "central" binary package and omit it from more ancillary packages.
N:
N: Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 12.7 (Changelog files) for
N: details.

N: Severity: pedantic, Certainty: wild-guess

N: Check: changelog-file, Type: binary

P: libspctag-dev: no-upstream-changelog
