Below are my remarks but note that I'm just DM and hence can't sponsor your 
package.

Things to improve:
* Your orig.tar.gz has a different md5 than the upstream tarball.
* Vcs-Svn should use anonscm link
* Dependency on ${python:Depends} is for python modules, not python programs 
and hence is useless
* Same thing for X-Python-Version, it's for python modules

Neutral comments:
dpkg-gencontrol generate a warning about shlibs:Depends [0] but I'm not sure 
it's a good idea to remove the ${shlibs:Depends}. A future version of the 
package could needs shared library so you can ignore this warning.

[0] dpkg-gencontrol: warning: Depends field of package gecrit: unknown 
substitution variable ${shlibs:Depends}

On the good sides:
* No lintian warning, even with -I --pedantic. Congratulations.
* Happy to see a DEP5 copyright (not required by policy), especially since 
config-edit -application dpkg-copyright -ui none seems happy with it
* Package don't FTBFS.

Best regards,

Thomas Preud'homme
