I took a look at your package:

  - lintian reports the following:

      P: vim-vimerl source: unversioned-copyright-format-uri http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5
      W: vim-vimerl source: syntax-error-in-dep5-copyright line 27: Continuation line outside a paragraph.
      P: vim-vimerl-syntax: no-upstream-changelog
      P: vim-vimerl: no-upstream-changelog

  - In debian/control, ${shlibs:Depends} is not defined, just remove it.

  - I don't think the upstream README contains any useful information
    for debian users (features are in the long description, installation
    instructions are irrelevant, and bugs should normally be reported in
    debian's BTS), don't install it.

  - You should remove the template comments in debian/rules.

  - According to uscan, there's a more recent upstream version (1.4.1).

Cheers,
