Hi Srećko, I did not look at the package precisely. So I am not able to give you concrete advices, sorry. Lintian works in most of cases just fine. Please, do not ignore its warnings and fix them.

I would personally not upload such source into Debian in this state. Please, read this articles [1]. There are a lot of useful tips.
