Good! ;-)
Your changelog looks like this has been in Debian for a looong time yet I
cannot find any traces of it. If you reckon this is an initial upload there
should be only one entry in debian/changelog.

No, X is an experimental tag. No need to override. Just take it as a comment
lintian gives you.

Ok, you asked for it, so here goes:
1.) debian/control has broken RFC822 multiline fields. The first char of all
subsequent lines needs to be a white space.
Just for the record: LaTeX is spelled LaTeX not LaTex.
2.) debian/changelog should only be the initial entry for a first time
upload.
3.) Vcs-Svn and Vcs-Browser look like you haven't splitted out Debian
packaging from upstream. This should be separated as a best practice.
4.) Using dh_python2 would allow you to use ${python:Depends}
5.) debian/copyright is still at rev 135. Latest candidate of DEP-5 is 174
Moreover there's a typo: License: GLP-2+
And these seem to be not included:
./apps/gtk/gprompter/scintilla/src/RESearch.h: *No copyright* Public domain
./apps/gtk/gprompter/scintilla/lexlib/StyleContext.cxx: Public domain
./apps/gtk/gprompter/scintilla/lexlib/StyleContext.h: Public domain
6.) debian/libpresage1.symbols looks pretty empty
7.) usr/share/doc/libpresage-dev doesn't need to be created in
debian/libpresage-dev.dirs - it'll be auto-created by
debian/libpresage-dev.docs if required.
8.) autotools-dev is pulled in as Build-Depends but not activated in
debian/rules' dh call.
9.) #468814 should be retitled to ITP
10.) pyprompter and libpresage-dev are arch any but none of which has any
arch dependent files. Do you plan to add a static lib or something?
