Here are a few comments about your package:

* Please consider using a more recent debhelper compatibility level.
Version 5 is quite outdated (although still okish). Generally I suggest
to bump debian/compat to 8 and depend in debian/control on a 8.0
version. That works down to Lenny with backports, although your package
probably won't ever enter Stable or even Oldstable anyway.

* You use a VCS not hosted by Debian. That's ok and legit, but Alioth is
nice too, and eases life to other people, potentially interested to help
you with the package. Regardless of the repository you choose, the
VCS-Browser link should point to the trunk of your repository, not to
the project home page [1]

* If I understand the purpose of your program, the section devel is not
really appropriate - maybe "electronics" [2] fits better.

* Upstream's NEWS file you install as doc, is in fact a changelog. For
archive-wide consistency you might consider installing it as upstream
changelog through dh_installchangelogs(1). Figure, that would also make
Lintian pedantically happy!

* Please remove unneeded comments in debian/rules. Those are for your
information, and not intended to be kept.

Good work, your package looks good. As you might have noticed, my
comments are minor pedantic notes.
