A few blocking issues:

- debian/copyright is missing copyright holders + license of e.g.
header files in include/linux/*
- your package FTBFS (full pbuilder build log attached):

checking for nft_rule_alloc in -lnftables... no
configure: error: No suitable version of libnftables found

Some non-blocking / pedantic issues:

- AFAIK uscan/devscripts will check for
debian/upstream/signing-key.asc, not .pgp, but then again, I'm not
sure if there's consensus yet on where exactly to put upstream's key
in the first place...
- please pass --disable-silent-rules to ./configure so that compiler
flags show up in the build logs (and so the logs are actually useful
for some of Debian's automated tools, e.g. the buildd log scanner
[1]). This also goes for libnftnl as well.
- I wouldn't override any lintian tags that are actually valid issues
(hyphen-used-as-minus-sign); it's fine if you decide to just ignore
them

Vincent
